Last year, as a New Year’s resolution, I chose just one word. Enjoy.
Looking back, I think I did a pretty good job of it. I really did keep it in mind all year, and made a conscious effort to enjoy my days.
This year, I can’t seem to find just one word that fits my need. I’ve chosen a phrase instead. Ready for the unveiling?
One thing at a time.
That’s it for this year. I’m tired of feeling frustrated because I have “too many irons in the fire,” as my mother would say. I can get overwhelmed to the point of feeling paralyzed before I actually do anything.
Lately Jeff and I have been reminding each other, when one of us is feeling paralyzed by the enormity of the amount of work to be done, “Just pick one thing, and do it.” It may sound simple, but for some reason I keep needing to be reminded. It’s amazing what can be accomplished one thing at a time!
I’m looking forward to being focused and productive in 2011. One thing at a time.
You have been a great joy in my life this last year. I can't wait to see what this year holds for us. As we do one thing at a time of course ;)
ReplyDeleteThis is so true! I have to remind myself of this all the time. I think I will add this to my list of resolutions for this year. :)
