2014.
It was a year. Actually a good year–some things that were in limbo are no longer in limbo, and that’s a good thing even if everything didn’t fall out the way I thought I wanted it to.
So I have some resolutions for 2015.
The standard one–lose the holiday weight, get in better shape. This is a specific weight goal and getting to finally run a 25 minute 5k. I got really close last year, and then a bad bicycle accident last July knocked me off track. I’ll get back into it again, I’m sure.
Reduce my procrastination and improve my time management. This actually relates to another goal, which is to be more consistent in my follow-through on things. One of the things I learned this year is that I haven’t been where I thought I was on this issue, and that I can greatly improve things by ensuring that people can feel they can rely on me. (Which they can.)
I think people will find their resolutions, if they have many, are in fact related, and in fact have a root cause. Fixing that root issue will make the rest work out. Follow-through may in fact be my root issue, and by doing better on that, I will be able to more easily accomplish my other resolutions. I also notice that by finishing things I am no longer weighed down by formless worrying about them, and I can use my forward momentum to keep accomplishing.
I know I’m supposed to know this, but I think we all need to be reminded of it once in a while.
One of my other points of follow-through is maintaining this blog. I hope people are reading it. I think I have a sense of the mix of things I want to put here, and what I want my voice to be. If I can semi-regularly publish content and work things out here it will also help me keep things moving.
So here’s to onward and forward.
