Or maybe just stuff I’d like to get round to doing in 2009…
- Get more collaborative: I’d like to spend more time working with other people, and I’m hoping that in 2009 there will be plenty of opportunities for this to happen
- Be more helpful: I’m envious of Dominic and his projects like AccessCity and Enabled by Design. I’d really like to get into the social innovation space and dedicate some time to making things better for people that need it.
- Start podcasting: I’m already in danger of over-committing content wise, with this blog and my newsletter, but I’d really like to start doing a regular podcast, whether audio or video based.
- Make my blog posts nicer: at least by having more pictures in them. Steve Bridger, amongst others, always has a nice big photo introducing his posts. I need to spend a bit more time making my posts a bit more, well, pretty.
- Write something more substantial: than just short, quick blog posts. Maybe an ebook or something which lets me take the time and use a bit more space to develop my ideas a bit more (if that doesn’t sound too pompous).
- Develop the idea of communities: which ties in a bit with social learning spaces too. Really sell the idea of developing communities and community-based approaches in the public sector, and build up some resources people can use to help them.
Well, that’s six and I had better stop typing now so as not to set myself too big a challenge!
What things are you planning on doing more of next year?
If you need a local accomplice for a regular podcast, I'd be quite up for that. I've always wanted to do one and the style I like best is the two person conversational format like one of my favourite podcasts – stackoverflow.
Good luck with the rest of the resolutions, mine are mostly about balance; work vs home/family vs hobbies vs new stuff – not enough hours in the day.
