New Year's Resolutions: Shortening the List

Hmmm... They seem to be a necessary evil, don't they? Taking on promises, revisiting our to-do lists, and maybe even making them longer. Well, my to-do list is certainly long enough already. I don't plan on adding stuff. If anything, I'm taking stuff off, shortening the list, you might say, in order to focus on what's necessary and not just what's nice.

So what's necessary? Well, to share those kinds of details would be a bit personal, don't you think? I mean, I'd be admitting, on this global forum, what I have failed to do throughout the year, wouldn't I? And that would be ... beyond embarrassing.

But we all know that I'm a procrastinator. Nothing new there. So what harm does it to do confirm it, again? And in confirming it, I give you a big clue as to my main -- and basically only New Year's resolution -- to cut back on procrastination.

Sounds like an elusive and vague goal, doesn't it? Only as long as I don't set specific goals. And I am setting goals. I just don't want to specify them -- because again, that would be embarrassing.

Best wishes everyone for a wonderful New Year, one that's full of realistic and achievable goals!
