What do you want to achieve in 2008?
Of course you’ve written your goals for 2008 by now! (Haven’t you?)
New Year resolutions are typically forgotten within a very short space of time. Maybe because they’re thought about in such a short space of time. Often they’re ideals and unrealistic in a practical sense. Or they’re wishes which don’t stand up to making an effort.
Let me encourage you to think about what has gone well, and what not so well during 2007, particularly from a workload perspective. What are the lessons learned for you? Can you amalgamate all those into one overriding lesson you’ve learned this year about what you need to change about handling your personal workload. How can you turn that into a resolution (or a goal) that has more meaning for you?
If you have set goals already, how does this new goal compare in terms of meaning and priority to you?
(Yes, I’ve done this already, having been encouraged by my coach and I’ll let you know how it goes! My resolution relates to keeping things simple, following my own advice and taking action, so blogs will be shorter!)
