Although I didn’t make any resolutions this new year, it’s still a time for change. That’s because I finally submit my D.Phil. thesis (if I’m on time, that will be before January 18th), so I’ve already been putting things in place that mean that I’ll start doing things differently this year, without having to decide that I’m going to do things differently on January 1st (and invariably last until about the 3rd).
In my case, this year is about society. Writing a doctoral thesis means a lot of time alone, so I’ve joined committees for some clubs I’m in, and will be looking to do other things which mean spending more time finding out what other people want to do and helping them to do it.
