December Goal Reflection

What worked, what didn’t, where can I improve

What Worked

• Very little. It was difficult to stay on task, manage unexpected time- sucks and expected road blocks.

What Didn’t

• It felt like everything went wrong at some point which is an indicator of overload. If things of varying magnitude feel overwhelming when they jump the track there isn’t enough space to adjust. I was way too overloaded coming into the last month of the year and it showed.

Improve

• Take whatever I believe I can accomplish and cut it in half.
• Say ‘No’.
  
• Move forward with attention and alignment. The days of saying yes to opportunities because they are presented are on their way out.
