Your Goals, Twitter Style

So this morning I asked everyone on Twitter - especially the social media herd - to tell me their goals that had nothing to do with social media. (I feel like a lot of us are doing too much social media weed smoking lately, so I wanted to hear something different).  I couldn’t possibly keep replying in Twitter without annoying the crap out of people, so instead, I’m sharing everyone’s goals here, in their words.

@mchamberlin: Get my handicap back down into single digits. Too much work and not enough golf makes Matt a dull boy.

@ColleenLane: How about sitting down and having a face to face cup o joe with someone?

@hdbbstephen: One of my goals is to get down to 205 pounds - maybe a little less.

@michsineath: I’d like to go camping for the first time and have *that* experience.

@SuzeMuse: Sing and play guitar (one of my own songs) at an open stage this year.

@ulumarketing: I ran my first 5K last year and want to do a half marathon this year.

@timjahn: To bike ride every day once the weather permits.

@houstonmacbro: I will be biking more for fun, pleasure, and health and plan to enter into a couple of rides.

@sbradley3: My 2009 goal is to work just a little less and spend more time with my 4 awesome daughters.

@YaelBeeri: Learn to play the piano.

@stuartcfoster: Run a lot. Like a digusting amount.

@bravegirl: Mine is to remodel my SF studio and win the small spaces competition!

@MarcWhitchurch: I have 2. Take my wife down south, and renovate the kitchen.

@christammiller: Lose the 10 lbs (at least) that have been sitting on me since my 2 yo’s birth. Be easier now with hubster home so I can exercise!

@chrisgarrett: I just did; one of my non-social media dream goals is to have a sea view property  in North Vancouver.

@fayza: I plan on running a half-marathon in April and a full marathon in September.

@PR_Persson: My goal is to spend time with friends who matter.

@tammyRhoman: I have to be more organized (my desk is horrid) and to learn how to wakeboard this summer.

@MackCollier: Want to be in a position by fall to do some non-work traveling & have time to do some pro-bono work probably for charity.

@williamu: Alpine backpack another 14er in California (as in “summit”)

@socialgumbo: To cook a sitdown dinner for my wife at least once a week.

@MattJMcD: Looking to travel a little bit and take some time to do more cooking (really like it)

@misskatiemo: run a 5K, move to NYC and leave the country again, probably Mexico. Oh, and re-take the GMAT

@DaveBenjamin: Follow thru w/ taking stand up comedy lessons. Always been fascinated, tested out on friends- have 2 take 2 next level 4 fun

@StevenMatsumoto: My goal is to be able to provide 250 full ride scholarships a year to my old business school.

@bbuset: spend at least 1/2hr per day listening to Italian podcasts/radio/dialogue (trying to pick up a new language)

@PatMcGrew: Grow professionally, enhance family relationships, see a friend achieve her PhD

@dbcotton: Already done the 10k and 1/2 marathon thing so running a full marathon is on my new year’s resolutions list for ‘09.

@TheMogulMom: I plan 2 repaint every room in my house & buy a new camera so I can take photos of woodland critters, my 3 kiddos & The Dude.

@alissaru: One of my goals is to try out trapeze or another form of aerial dance. I’m looking forward to trying to fly!

@drewmaniac: Like the rest of the sheep-like, out of shape world - work out more/eat less. And, develop my photo-biz considerably more.

@timnekritz: Better work-life balance. I can only keep 40 vaca days, yet ended year with 46. The world won’t end if I take time off.

@brandmarken: non-social media goal: to be someone’s favorite person. Hopefully my kids’ or wife’s for that matter.

@yvonh: Nice idea ! Mine is to study MagentoCommerce and the Zend Framework. Let us know about your goals too.

@longbow1221: Cook out using dutch ovens more often is a goal I have for 2009.

Find someone above with similar aspirations? Why not connect with them on Twitter? And if you missed the goal-sharing fun, add yours in the comments along with your Twitter handle. Can’t wait to check back in with you guys in a few months and see how you’re progressing with your hopes and dreams.
