Staying Inspired (vs. disciplined) With Your 
New Year’s ReVolutions, 10 Helpful Tips:

Goals are dreams with a deadline -  Write down three actionable goals that you can visualize and that you WILL achieve by the end of 2010. Keep them in front of you at all times so your daily actions will lead you to the attainment of these goals.

Positive attitude plus positive actions equal positive results - Make a plan on how you will achieve each goal with mini-plans, mini-goals and corresponding dates for each.

Follow your passion - Commit to doing more of what you enjoy doing that invigorates you.

Soar with your strengths - Focus on your strengths - what you are naturally good at - you will have a higher self-esteem, be more professionally fulfilled and you will ultimately be far more successful.

Be the organized executive - Start the year fresh by doing a total catharsis or cleansing.  Begin or end each day with 20 minutes worth of organizing, even if it means hiding piles until you can get to them.

Re-analyze your “to-do list.” Go back through your “to-do list” and prioritize it to “do it,” “delegate it” or “scratch it.” Prioritize your list so you can do more of what brings you personal, professional and monetary rewards and less of what steals your time.

Compartmentalize your priorities - Once you have decided on your priorities of the day, week, month, and year, focus on the tasks at hand…setting up firewalls to keep any distractions from diluting your focus. While we have two arms, two eyes and two ears, we only have one brain, so it is extremely difficult to concentrate on two or more projects and do them well at the very same time.

Change the way you see everything - By reprogramming your brain to see opportunities vs. obstacles, challenges vs. chores and celebrate what you’ve accomplished vs. feeling bad about what you have not, you will increase your energy, improve your attitude and raise your level of professional satisfaction.

Surround yourself with positive people - Choose to spend your precious time with people that will support you encourage you... good attitudes are contagious... and celebrate in your success.

Reinvent yourself -  Change is energizing...It is easy to become stale and accept the way things are if we don’t shake it up every once and a while, even in our dress and our surroundings.
