Every year Chris Brogan posts his three words for a new year. I and many others have followed his lead for the past three or four years. They helped me a lot.My words for last year were"passion","focus"and"delegate"and I stayed true to them.This year,2012,my goals are more personal and less professional.       FOCUS     Focus is making a repeat appearance on my list this year because I'm too much of a multitasker. The problem is that I have trouble finishing one thing with so many things calling me.  When I was working as a writer,all my projects were handled via a schedule,which kept me organized.This year I'm going to have each task scheduled.I'm putting a fitness and housekeeping routine into my schedule.       HEALTH     I get so busy taking care of everyone else,I forget to take care of myself and this has to change.  My health suffers and my weight suffers.I have to get my 1}ealth in check,not only for me-but because I promised my 9 year-old son.I'11 make sure to take time to exercise every day and make good food and lifestyle choices. I miss beingthin,and it's time to get it back.       CELEBRATE     What good is having it all if I'm not taking time to enjoy it?I have a wonderful job,a happy family,and so much to be thankful for. So how come I spend all my time working? Last summer my family took our first vacation in four years,the best thing I've done for myself and my family in a long time.This year,I'm making sure to take time to enjoy life and celebrate its many blessings.     Do you have any words for 2012? What can we learn from the passage?
The word"celebrate"can remind the writer to enjoy life. The writer has a vacation with his family every four years. The word"focus"can help the writer focus on his family. The writer used to be overweight for lack of exercise.
