January was resolution month. It's the month when people all over the world make promises and commitments about changes they will make in their behaviors or choices. Usually, by this time of year those resolutions have been abandoned. Let's take a different approach. For the next 11 months, I challenge you to join me in developing a different key area of your life, each month.
FEBRUARY IS for FINISHING.
Look around your office, your home, your car, your life. Are their projects that you've started but not completed? February is the month to commit to finishing those things, whether it's cleaning the garage, purging unused items from the closet, pr donated unwanted toys and outgrown clothes. It also could mean finishing a book you started reading, completing a sewing or knitting project, or even writing your memoirs. This month, I'll finish reading two books, finish cleaning out the hall coat closet, and finish a 750-piece jigsaw puzzle my family is working on together. What will you finish in February?
This approach of attacking one area at a time, will allow for quicker wins. Essentially, you will see results and have successes faster, if you leverage this methodology. You also won't have to commit to any one thing for 365 days. That can be overwhelming and unrealistic for many of us. The one focus at a time initiative provides just as much if not more opportunity for meaningful, sustained change to happen in our lives.
Next month: March is for Money Management.
