Are you ready for 2009?

Christmas has finally come and gone, and I would be lying if I didn’t say I was extremely glad it’s over! As much as I love spending time with my family, the holidays can be a really stressful time.

Something else that always happens to me over the holidays is I seem to lose my groove. My work groove that is.

Even though I have done quite a bit of work in the past few days behind the scenes, I haven’t done as much as I wanted to.

That’s why I’m glad I read this post at John Reese’s blog. He doesn’t update often, but when he does it’s always a worthy read. He always makes me stop and think which ends up alternating my train of thought indefinitely (and in a positive way I might add).

I’m horrible for putting things off until the last minute, or constantly telling myself “I’ll do it tomorrow”, but after this morning, I think things will be changing.

If you’re a big procrastinator like me, you’ll definitely want to read that post.

Something else you’ll want to do is have a clear idea in your head about your goals for 2009. In fact, you should write them down and keep them somewhere accessible – somewhere you’ll be looking at frequently. I plan on using one of my awesome multi-colored funky girly notebooks to store my 2009 goals in and I’ll be keeping it right beside my computer on my desk so that I never forget.

I’ll also be creating a plan to help me reach each of my goals along with a reasonable yet challenging timeline. I want 2009 to be my best year yet and I’ve been a busy little beaver acquiring all the tools and knowledge need to accomplish that. I would love for you to make 2009 your best year as well.

Let’s kick some recession ass!
