New Year Resolutions

Business Computing Tips

A New Year. A new resolution. 

Hands up everyone that just recycled the ones from last year.

Well, doing the NoWriMo, I found that setting a deadline worked wonders for me. Not because I knew everyone was watching, asking me how I did etc (although that helped.)

The main thing that helped was that the deadline meant I had a definite goal to work to. So many words a day for so many days.

I also had a definite marker to say that I had won, that I had done something to be proud of.

Try that for yourself. I will clean a room a day until the house is sorted out (this is of course only possible if you send everyone else off on holidays.) 

Break your goals down, think, what do I really want? Then work out how you are going to get there. And go for it. Even if you have to eat take out to make time.
