new year's resolution reminder

With the new year fast approaching, it’s once again time for resolutions. Bear with me now and don’t get too discouraged, as I’m here to help make this a more enjoyable process into your 2008.

Remember last year when you swore up and down you were going to (insert resolution that was KO’d by laziness here) and quickly faded that into the sunset of forgotten promises? Well forget it now… all of it! Stand tall and proud, because this year you’ll realize what you set out to do and become a better person.

Instead of haphazardly making new year’s resolutions that you’ll have trouble keeping up with, make more attainable goals now. For instance, I’ve decided to increase my volunteering efforts to at least twice a month next year.

That’s a minimum of 24 sessions over the course of 12 months, coming out to once every two weeks. I know I can do it, I’ve already tailored my schedule for it, and have built up much excitement mentally. Also, this resolution allows for flexibility. If I cannot make it out to volunteering, there is a week between to make up for lost appointments.

If you’re having a bit of a mental roadblock and cannot drum up a resolution(s), here are 10 to choose from that will boost your career while making you all the more happier.

  • 1 - Clean off the desktop area every Friday before leaving work.
  • 2 - Re-adjust workspace to be ergonomic, once a month.
  • 3 - Give a percentage of each paycheck to worthy charities
  • 4 - Contribute a percentage of each paycheck to savings/investments
  • 5 - Take a 5 minute walk break every work hour
  • 6 - Arrive 15 minutes earlier each day
  • 7 - Switch out half of your coffee drinks for cups of tea
  • 8 - Drink at least 3 cups of water per day
  • 9 - Bring lunch at least 3 days a week
  • 10 - Take time to get to know co-workers better
