Happy New Year! Whew, I can't believe another year has just begun! Anyone make resolutions this year? I'm not usually one to make resolutions since I know I'll inevitably break 'em anyway. I am, however, setting
goals (a less intimidating word than
resolution) for myself, which are: write more, create more and explore more.
I recently read an article in
Script Magazine about Jerry Seinfeld's productivity technique. He apparently sticks to his goals by marking a big, red
X on a calendar every day he accomplishes his task. Jerry found drawing the X to be so rewarding that he deemed it a technique called "Don't Break the Chain." Once you start to create the ongoing chain of X's, you won't want to break the pattern and eventually your daily tasks become habit, thus setting you on the fast track to reaching your goals.
I like Jerry's idea so much that I think I'll give it a whirl. (Hopefully I'll find drawing the X as rewarding as he does). Here are some fun items to help keep us all on track to reaching our goals in 2012:
Very nicely done!
