Speed of time or how to don't made things done?

Recently I've read post about one guy, who made a plan for 2011 of things which he want's to learn, all that were about software testing. And as usually it's going he didn't done everything, but at least something. And now, January of 2011, I've just finish celebration of new year and once I've heard one interesting thing - in the beginning of the new year create a plan with all things which you want to learn or done and after 12 months make a report for yourself, of course. And this post just remind me about my own plan, unfortunately I didn't done even 20% of my plan. So, why this happened? I don't know the answer for this, but I thing it's all about time management, about your personal priorities. But as that guy, I also done some things, but in little different field. I began to learn French, learn about software testing, it's wasn't in my plan, I still continue to practice my English. Also, I was promoted on work, it's still quality assurance, but not of software, and many other things which I can't refresh in memory. What I didn't done - I didn't pass IELTS, it's English exam, didn't learn some programming language, and most of all I didn't spent this summer as I planed. How I, and maybe some of you can prevent situations like this? I guess, I need manage my free time more accurately and spent it more efficiently. Hope my 2012's plan's results will be more productive
