5 Engineers: What’s your 2013 New Year’s resolution?
Suzanne Deffree - January 4, 2013
Welcome to our 5 Engineers section, part of this blog and our Fun Friday newsletter, where we toss out a question and invite our audience to respond with their wittiest answers.Around this time in 2012, we asked what your New Year’s resolution was. Some of my favorite answers included: “To finish half the projects I started last year” and “To make the things that go, go better!” And this sly one: A higher bandwidth scope and a monitor's image size larger than 1920 x 1280 are resolutions I like to see changed this year.
This January we’re again looking forward to the New Year, with its clean slate and coming obstacles and opportunities. So this week’s question is: What’s your 2013 New Year’s resolution? What behavior or situation will you change this year? What goal will you set that, hopefully, improves your engineering life?
And we’re looking for resolutions that might actually be kept, not the “eat better” and “leave work at 5pm” kind that we all know will be broken by January 10.
Share your thoughts below and be sure to stay tuned to this blog for more 5 Engineers questions in the weeks to come.
