Be Planful

I believe in any rituals that add to clarity. As such, I always make New Year’s resolutions. This year, I have only two:

1.  Simplify

2. Work a whole lot smarter

The first requires looking at things with open eyes, making decisions, and throwing some things away. The second is about education, time management, going paperless, embracing the new, and making a plan.

A plan is a decent road map. A plan is what you need to face all the Mondays of the year. It sounds so simple, doesn’t it?
