Sometimes I find myself reading and dreaming, and 3 hours later I’ve done nothing but got screen-ache and 79 websites on my screen! I’m going to keep reading and listening and watching, but also writing and chatting. You know the Joan Didion quote, “I don't know what I think until I write it down”? Well, quite.
2. I will not get sucked in
Not by a vacuum cleaner, or ‘just one more link’, or by the amazing Technicolor all-singing all-dancing techno-thingy that’s going to change my life. Because there isn’t one. Fact.

3. I will do less, and focus more.
I think I’ve said a billion times how overwhelming everything is in my fluffy world. I want to do everything, but it drives me nuts when I try. Do less, do better will be my mantra for this year.
4. Zoom in, zoom out - like a Prezi!
Prezi is something I want to try, and I think some like it because you can focus in on an idea, then pan out and show it’s part of a bigger picture. That’s what I want to do with all my ideas: look at the detail, then work out where it fits into other stuff I know.
5. I will keep my feet on the ground and in the classroom
I haven’t really been in classrooms much ever since I got stuck to a shoe. By watching what teachers and students are doing in classes I can make sure I don’t get carried away in my ivory tower (ok…dusty corner…) – and maybe I’ll get some new ideas too.
Finally, (resolution 5½ cause I kind of made it last year too) I’m going to be as ‘zen’ as I possibly can about this whole thing. This scene isn’t slowing down anytime soon, but there’s no way I can run and keep up with it – I mean, have you seen my post-xmas fluff after all that pudding??
When it all gets too much, I’m hitting the ‘off’ button and shuffling out for some fresh air.
