New Year’s Day is the traditional
start of resolutions. Like we could actually do something the morning after
a New Year’s Eve celebration.
Not a fan of the annual start to your diet, saving money,
and joining a gym. There is nothing magical about January 1st. When
you are ready to make a change, Start Now.
Two reasons most resolutions fail:
1. We try to do too much at once.
2. We don’t figure out why we want to change.
Warren Buffet’s
method is to write down 25 professional goals, then focus on the 5 most
important goals, and ignore the rest. He considers the other goals distractions
from succeeding at more important goals.
My take is we can only accomplish up to 3 goals at a
time. By limiting my focus to one or two goals at a time, am more likely to
succeed sooner. Complete more goals in a
year by focusing on fewer goals.
Most people are not focused, and lose motivation the first
few times they meet resistance. The reason is they have not thought out their
why.
Often make tweaks to my work routine. The reason these
tweaks usually take is my motivation is to Do
Meaningful Work Well. Like to be 1% better than yesterday. If this means
have to drop some habits or start a new routine, so be it.
My strongest motivations are fairly simple.
Here to Serve Customers, Their Customers and My Coworkers.
If it requires extra effort, okay.
My Brain Needs a Healthy Body to Carry It Around.
Why you see me run pitifully on days off, and take frequent walks. Lost 10 - 15 pounds when necessary at 1 pound per month. Changes that last.
Do not to tie up every minute in a day. Free time is thinking time. This is where you can really make large
leaps in innovation and productivity. Keep asking different questions when you
do.

busy can’t be wise.” - Lin Yutang
Have not changed my resolutions this year. My whys are a
compass that guide me. What are your whys?
