Happy New Year!

2009 is less than 24 hours old, but so far so good…

My New Year’s resolutions are mostly work-related.  We all have our weaknesses, and one of mine is to go off on tangents.  It’s a useful trait at times, as I sometimes uncover some pretty interesting stuff in the process – but it also takes up time that could be spent more productively.  So I spent part of this morning putting together a work schedule…then rendered it as an image file in Photoshop, and installed it as the new wallpaper on my desktop display.  That way, I have to look at it everyday, and assess whether I’m on track or not.

I don’t imagine that I’ll manage to keep to it, 100% – but at the least, it’s there to remind me of what I’m striving for.  2008 was a decent year from a productivity standpoint, but I can see (realistic) room for improvement…I’m hoping 2009 will be even better.
