No New Year’s Resolutions for Me
January 1, 2007
I am not a fan of New Year’s resolutions; I find them to be ineffective. I used to waste a lot of time, at the beginning of the year, concocting a laundry list of things that I wanted to complete, just to look back (usually in March) to see that I lost all motivation. So, instead, I decided to focus on improving each year, in 5 major categories; Family, Friendship, Career, Health, and Spirituality. At the end of each year I reflect on the previous years’ accomplishments, and think about some of the methods I can deploy to improve the following year. Since the methods aren’t a specific list, they can be changed and removed based on changing circumstances. The only constants are the categories and the yearly improvement. It also allows me to play on my love for competition, and who better to compete with than yourself?
Happy New Year All!

Career and Family has been great. Could use some improvement in the health, friendship, and spirituality department.
