There’s a lot of posts saying whether resolutions work, or most likely don’t.
The most interesting blurb I read came from last year’s cycle, when someone said they select just 2 items to work on for the year and hammer those two items.
I like it because it is a very narrow focus but there is still a little choice and variety. That said, I took that advice year and the results was mixed. I read my fair share of books, but I didn’t end up really doing much of a dent in the mound of paperwork that still needs to be sorted out.
But it’s a new year, so my two resolutions at home are:
- Keep up with this daily blogging thing for the new year. Ideally I’ll keep it going for the full year, but I’ll allow myself to reassess at the equinoxes and solstice.
- Exercise. Like the rest of America, I really need to get moving more. The tangible goals from this one are to get the blood pressure and my weight back down.
For work, it’s relatively straightforward. Just figure out how to do my job, learn to be a great client, and take stabs at improving the process when the opportunities present themselves. It’s all too new for me to have tangible goals aside from general basic self-orientation.
Well, here’s to 2019!
