What 5 things do you want to accomplish this year?

I can't make or keep New Year's resolutions very often, but what I can do the "Rule of 5" I learned once in a vegetarian cooking class.



The teacher told us: "Most people eat the same 5 meals over and over again-- so if you want to cook and eat healthy foods -- just find 5 meals you really like, and don't worry about trying to create new recipes or changing your eating habits dramatically."



I found that very easy to do, perhaps because I don't enjoy cooking that much.  Keeping things simple works.  I think it's better to have 5 small goal that one big elusive one.



I've always remembered that "rule of 5" for setting realistic goals in my work life and personal life.  But I've also found it helpful to look at the past accomplishments and acknowledge them.



It's so easy for years to fly by and you might wonder if you are heading in the right direction.  One way to answer that question is to look at what has already happened last year.  Are there 5 things you are glad you did or learned? Did you move closer to or away from your life purpose?  Or perhaps you haven't even sat down to ask the question.



So here's a big opportunity to do that.  In the comments section below, you can make a public statement about 5 things you want to accomplish this year.  Then in 3 months, I can repost this and see how far everyone has come.  I'll start by setting my own example and then you can see how your goals can be anything you want them to be:












5 Things I want to Accomplish:


1. Put out 12 collections of new designs.

2. Clean up the front yard (that could take a whole year)!

3. Finish writing two ebooks and publish them.

4. Work with a friend to make audio recording of some ancient texts.

5. Ride my bike 5 times a week.

Ok, now what are Yours? (Write below in Comments)  Writing them down makes them real, and it forces you to really think about possibilities -- large or small.
