... New year - Should I

Should I or should I not forget about new year resolutions?
Someone just told me his new year resolutions are last year's actually he only needs to change the dates. It is always good to feel that you are on the right path I guess that's why I have to join the bandwagon - experience has taught keep it short and simple (rather than large and sexy?). Sometimes honestly we try and I know I'm my worst critic. Most of the time I fail to celebrate the 'small' victories.

1. Anthropologically, we like to nest - mark out our territory and defend it. It is noble that this year should be one where I mark out my territory and defend it! I keep thinking sometimes I am too cautious - and it is all round. Which can be frustrating to some around me (I wish they understood that after careful consideration I sometimes decide not to make a decision). Strategy is not just what you decide to do - it is also what you decide not to do.This should be the year when I 'settle' down - I mean it's either here or go back home (easy to forget that I have a home!). I'm tired of just going to work, come home sit in front of TV and watch life pass by - well it is an exaggeration but there's a point there. I need to get a place of my own (finally!). There is always the temptation when you are far from home to tend to look for anything familiar and cling to it. It is understandable but also there is a danger of taking a myopic view - I must mingle more.

What a plan - simple yet insane!

2. Time is money. It's not something I have discovered but it came to light that maybe I am wasting some time. This should be the year when I appreciate time - it is a precious gift
The difference between a prosperous person and the majority of us is how they value time.
I am looking for a nice watch - a symbolic move. It's a long time since I owned one - thanks to my mobile phone. Does it reveal that I am careless as someone suggested? I hope not. (My phone can play music, take pictures and listen to the radio - that's massive savings on my entertainment costs!)

Logical incrementalism - Business success is about exploiting opportunities.
