Image of a woman sitting at a desk surrounded by papers and sticky notes. She appears overwhelmed. There are clocks on the wall behind her.

As I’ve mentioned before, I don’t set New Year’s resolutions. I tend to just go with the flow month-to-month. I keep some general ideas in my head for things I’d like to accomplish, but I usually don’t get around to writing them down.

However, this year I’m on a push to make progress in a couple of areas of my life. In order to accomplish this, I’ve added in a few new habits. I’ve also enrolled in a couple of online courses.

Normally, this wouldn’t be a problem. Except that I work in accounting. And starting in January, my workload doubles. This craziness lasts until the beginning of May. I often end up working overtime. Which means I don’t have a lot of time to do coursework. Not and still keep at my writing.

Oy! Why did I do this to myself?

(Answer: It’s that New Year’s energy. I just got sucked in to that positive, I Can Do This energy.)

How about you? Have you set goals or taken on new activities this month? Are you happy with your progress so far?
