I think I used my time effectively this week, and I am have been happy with the results.  It has also meant that I have been very tired.<\/p>\n<p>Personally, I decided that I needed some new years resolutions, and I am not sure how I am going to put those together and come up with a system to manage those resolutions.  But I will do it.  I decided that most people make resolutions in january and then brake them by June.  So I am going to begin my resolutions for the year in February, limit them to 6 items, and then come up with a way to introduce each new resolution gradually,  For example, I&#8217;ll work on my first resolution in February and get a steady pace going.  Then in March, I will introduce the second important resolution, on the assumption that I had a month to get used to incorporating the first resolution into my life.  And that probably tells you something about my resolutions.  They aren&#8217;t things like &#8220;lose 10 pounds or go down a few waist sizes&#8221;.  They are resolutions to change my foundation, such as &#8220;set up and execute a regular exercise schedule&#8221; and &#8220;save an additional X% of my income this year&#8221;.  The challenge is then to come up with easy steps to implement in my life and lifestyle to make those resolutions happen.  Last year is met 3 of 15 resolutions.  That was a shitty rate of success.  I can do better with less resolutions that are more meaningful.  And unless this year, I put it in my calendar to review my resolutions every quarter to understand where I have succeeded, where I can do better, and adjust my plans as needed.<\/p>\n<p>I am not so sure why I am more serious about my resolutions this year than last year.  I don&#8217;t know why I am putting more effort into my resolutions this year than last year.  I think it&#8217;s because this year, I view my resolutions not as goals to be obtained, but as promises to myself &#8212; and I like to keep my promises.<\/p>\n<p>So cheers and good luck to everyone with resolutions!  I hope you are able to keep them and find success!  Wish me luck and show me some love as well!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello everyone.
