Will 08 Be Better?
Filed Under Development, Success | Leave a Comment
We’ve all been through our resolutions. Some of us have decided not to have any. But we all want 2008 to be better than 2007. Even if 2007 was pretty good.I’ve discovered it’s always the small things that make the difference. Rarely is it a monumental change. Even changing jobs can be a simple decision. An effective strategy is to look at 3 things:
- What do you want to stop doing?
- What do you want to start doing?
- What do you want to keep doing?
If you can define these things your 2008 will more than likely be better than 2007.So, what are they? What will you stop, what will you start and what will you keep? Here are mine. I’d love to hear of yours. 3 things I want to stop doing
- Stop drinking any alcohol during the week.
- Stop eating junk food any time I feel like it.
- Stop treating work like a To Do list - project manage my role.
3 things I want to start doing
- Exercising 5 days out of seven
- Being interested in others more - without the need for reward or recognition
- Paying off my short term debt before any more purchases (though I really do want that new Honda VFR 800!!
)
3 things I want to continue
- Being a good husband - I have a great marriage, need to hold on to that
- Learning - the older I get the less I understand
- Being a role model at work
As easy as they may all sound it is not alway easy to accomplish. To some these may not seem that deep but it is often the “little foxes that spoil the vine” so if I can get these things on track I think I can tackle some bigger things later on. I want my 2008 to be different and better than 2007. I hope yours is too.
