my new year's resolutions

There aren't many, but I think they're worth noting:

1. Stop beating myself up about my research.
2. When #1 simply cannot be helped, worry about quality of data, not quantity.
3. Travel more around Botswana.
4. Travel more around the region to places I haven't been yet (e.g., Mozambique, Namibia, East Africa).
5. Use my plasticity for good, not evil.
6. Relax more.
7. Write more.
8. Stop beating myself up about my research.

There are really only seven, but I thought the first one was worth reiterating.
