January doesn't even seem like a good time to make resolutions: too dark and cold. I still tend to think of September as the beginning of the year--I guess it comes from all the years starting new at school.
I'm sorry that what you call deficiencies (and what the rest of us seem to be saying are normal, human), affects the way you see yourself.
I think your lists should be limited to what you can do to make things better or easier for yourself, not things you should do so you won't judge yourself so harshly. To work full-time and to expect everything to get done at home seems fairly impossible.
If you set out to change things completely (like NO personal computer at work, not charging ANYTHING frivolous or fun), I think you're going to set yourself up to fail.
I guess I'm saying just what you would anticipate, but I wonder how mostly pretty minor things get so connected to your self esteem, and the good stuff doesn't get mentioned (or felt?).
Take care,
Shelli
