qosI got up this morning feeling an uncharacteristic eagerness to 'get going' and start work: not just on my resolution, but at my day job. I'm glad the holidays are over and that life as usual is resuming.
I left the office last week only after turning in the project close-out report that officially concluded my project management activity (yet another closure for the new year) as well as my first pass at my self-scoring on my goals and values assessment for Q4. I will arrive at work with a clean slate.
Having only one resolution for this year also helps. Instead of a laundry list of To-Do's, I have a single focus. There are, of course, other actions I can take to help achieve this goal, but they are action steps, not goals in themselves. And I'm finding that making that distinction does make a difference psychologically.
