With the turning of the year, many of us become more
contemplative. We think about the past year, the future, and what we want more
or less of in the coming months. Here is a collection of
end-/beginning-of-the-year links I found inspiring and helpful, and that you
might enjoy also:
Playing off the 12 days of Christmas idea, Laura Vanderkam
has come up with “12 Days to a Happier, More Productive You.”
Sandra at Always Well Within has prepared a couple of free downloads here: A time-tracking log as well as a
worksheet to help you review the past year.
Just in case you’re overwhelmed by “have an amazing year”
cheerleading, remember that “life isn’t a tidy upward achievement narrative,”—and that’s OK.
How to say No graciously—an important skill we all need.
Disconnect, do less and be more successful!
And on a lighter note, the folks at Smartpak (no
affiliation) have made a series of funny videos with the theme “If horses were
people.” Here is a recent one, about blanketing, that made me laugh. (The
farrier one is hilarious, too.)
Happy New Year and happy Friday!
