resolutions twenty ten

2010About two weeks ago I took a moment to jot down a few of the things that I wanted to start doing more, and I am using the new year to break into these healthy and fun habits.

While writing down the resolutions, I got some great advice from Fabian. He said more important than writing each new goal is writing why its important to you. Writing why serves as a constant motivation to act on them.

While most of the things are pretty surface level, they are all things I would be proud to accomplish and accordingly I tried to make them as tangible and realistic as possible. I also wanted to make sure they were personal and not professional goals, we already do lots of milestone and goal setting at Holstee.
