Winter is the Season for Making Plans ...

I believe it was in one of Denis Waitley's book where he outlined that winter is the season for making plans: short-, mid-, and long-term plans. Many of us call these New Year's resolutions. Others use the "quiet" days (and weeks) over the holiday season to map out strategies, goals, objectives, and/or review our ambitions or career/personal achievements.

I've got a number of government clients who are trying to get their projects up-to-date before the holidays. These are hectic days not only because of the urgency of such projects but also because of an increase in parties, shopping, decorating the house/home, etc., etc. But I see a window of opportunity when this pace will lessen a bit. And I've blocked out this time to review my goals and objectives and to think thru the resolutions worthy of my attention.

I've been at this BFL program for just over two years. New Year's resolutions for 2003 and 2004 have morphed from "good intentions" to SMART plans to daily and weekly entries in my fitness log. So let me wrap this blog entry up and say that 2005 will most likely have more of the same listed in it. Some call me a "lifer" -- I say that anything that is truly worth doing is worth doing again ... and again ... and again ... for life.

Be careful with the resolutions your choose. And good luck with deciding which are worthy of your time and efforts.
