New Years Themes

I normally try to make resolutions for the new year that look something like this.

I have since been introduced to a new concept by +Chris Brogan for New Years Resolutions. Instead of making generic resolutions that fall apart weeks into a year, you set a theme/vision for your goals.

I really like the idea and plan to give it a try this year. You simply choose three words that make up your vision and help you narrow or focus your goals.

My Three Words:

Drive - Motivation, determination, will power, endurance. This year I want to focus on doing more with the time that I have. I want to stay in drive mode...I don't want to have to gear up for everything that I do. Driven people are more passionate about their work and are able produce better quality. (here is another kind of Drive)

Finish - I am tired of not getting completely done with the projects I start. I want to finish things and move on to new tasks. This is probably going to be the most difficult theme for me. I start so many different things that I leave unfinished. No more. I would be ashamed to tell you how many "draft" posts I have started and not finished. I am going to focus on my tasks until I get them checked off.

Enjoy - This is an easy one and yet so many people struggle with it. Life is not worth the effort and work you put into it if you do not take time to enjoy those sweet moments that movie directors are able to capture. You know when the violins start playing that slow music full of harmony? Anyway, I am planning to enjoy life because we are more likely to do the things we plan to do.
