‘Tis the season for resolutions. Some of us are actually successful with resolutions, but I’ve read the majority of us break them within 24-48 hours of making them. This doesn’t need to happen to you. Making a resolution usually also involves figuring out the things we need to DO to make the resolution a reality. To take a different spin on things, why not create a ‘not’ to do list. You know…a list of things NOT do in order to become and remain more productive. Make the list…pick one…then go for it. Here are some of my ideas but feel free to add your own: I vow NOT to… …maintain a cluttered desk …maintain a cluttered office …maintain a filing cabinet that can’t store even one more piece of paper …miss deadlines …have ineffective meetings… …walk around with vague goals rattling around in my head …look for things to distract me from what I need to be doing …check email every 5 minutes …over-commit …invite interruptions and distractions …delay decisions …comment on ‘other’ people’s disorganized offices …go one more day without cleaning out my briefcase …work on everything - except my priorities - first thing in the morning …keep the same ineffective habits going into next year… Good luck…and have a productive New Year!
