2008 Goals : Do Less

What did you do in 2007?  Too Much?

In 2007, I did way too much - way too much.  Some said that surely I would burn out.  I developed a course at Ohio State University, I led a company of 12 employees, I developed two SEMPO courses for my search engine marketing trade association, I trained and trained and trained employees, I had major surgery, I took care of four animals (3 cats and a dog), I went to Antarctica, Argentina and travelled in many states, worked on numerous projects, blah, blah blah, right?

Who gives a penguin guano?  I’m focused in 2008 on a couple of things - doing less - that is the theme, and the specifics, well here is what that includes:

1) Invitro - yep - focus on baby or babies

2) Do less for nothing - I’m not in the mood this year to do something for nothing

3) Volunteer less - refer to point 2

4) Sell my condo - move into house

5) focus on fitness

6) train new dog

7) do less

8) travel less for work and more for fun

9) buy strong real estate investment

10) do more for fun

What should we blame this on?  Antarctica - a vacation - a trip - a real, genuine getaway - a green marketing initiative - who cares about your new car, your new house, your new outfit?  Are you doing anything to make the world a better place, right? 

So, I’m nesting the new house for baby thing - and I’m focusing on green, marketing, and doing less.  Focus, focus, focus -and do less.

Be well - relax - take care of yourself - and the environment - use less - don’t just recycle - use less.  Be less disposable - reuse more - and don’t throw out if you can renew.

Breathe in - and let go.  Have fun - and do less - that is, if you were doing something productive to begin with.
