Well here we are - another new year. Looking back, I do think that 2008 was overall a good year though I have to admit that Time was not my friend. It seemed I constantly found myself saying "I don't have time". No time to update my blog (as is obvious by how infrequently I write). No time to clean my house; no time to read a magazine, or take a bath. No time to exercise or take better care of myself. No time to execute the many plans swimming around in my head.
Why has time been so elusive? Probably because I have given all of "my time" to others. I helped my clients find time by taking work off of their desks. I gave my time freely to my family to make sure they had what they needed, when they needed it. I gave my time to help the publishing dreams of others come true (though I have to admit I really do enjoy that). Those were all choices I made so I really can't complain, but I do think that I need to make some adjustments. I need to make time to take time - for me. I just have to figure out how.
I just took a look back at my resolutions from last year and I think I really fell short in many of the areas. I definitely grew my business (now businesses since I started a second in 2008). I learned a great deal along the way, but I really don't think I met any of my other goals. This is disappointing.
So this year I'm keeping it simple - I only have one goal. Find Time.
Wish me luck!
