As far as my book reading is concerned I have put together a spreadsheet with all of the books I intend to read. Some I have read before some I have not. While I have a goal of reading 24 new books, I have added 3 additional books just in case I exceed the 24. I may make adjustments along the way but this is a good structured first start I believe. The spreadsheet is here.

I am completing the finishing touches on a personal fitness plan for the year. I will make it available via drive as soon as it meets my approval. For now, I am following the 100 push up plan as well as the associated 200 Situps and a running plan designed to get a sub 20 minute 5k. Full Calendar will be posted as I said when complete.
The remaining resolution plans will be posted and consolidated here by the morning.
