task clearing

a couple of weeks ago kimmo pointed out that my task organizing, which is supposed to help me do a lot of things but not be stressed out about it, is actually a source of stress in itself.  that thought really stuck with me, so i resolved to remove a lot of the 'should do' items from the list that don't really stand a chance with the current priorities (family happiness, making and keeping friends, work success, etc).  and so i am giving up on a few of my goals for 2012:

1. going on a number of hikes.  we had said 6.  and we do go for long-ish city walks, but we just haven't gotten there on actual hikes in the wilderness.  
2. learning some czech.  i know maybe 5 czech words.  but we don't plan to stay here forever and my higher priority is to learn finnish.
3. install different linux on home pc.  i'm on the work computer most of the time anyway.
