It sounds like a much more holistic - and inspired - approach. Can't wait to hear your voice ring loud and clear throughout 2010!

What's worked for me is to "brand" my year, to give it a feeling in my mind that describes the major growth that will take place (2008 was the year of becoming professional entrepreneur, 2009 was the year of my business brand, and 2010 is the year of the voice). I find that branding really guides decisions and actions in a way that memorizing a committing to a goal list really can't. And for those small tweaks you do make to your schedules, I recommend staying flexible and letting the goal evolve as needed. I completely agree!

Totally ditto on the gym thing. 1st 3 weeks of January are the worst of the year (for those of us regulars) because it is jammed with short-timers who vanish. Sure there are some folks who start new and keep the commitment - to you I say "You go!!". but for the rest...give yourself permission to let it go and do the things you really want or need to.
