"New Year, a new me"- a common belief
At this time of year we often think in terms of what we want to start doing. Some people want to eat better. Others want to start exercising. Everyone is looking for a change that leads to a better self.
I am instead thinking about what I can stop doing. I read an article in Harvard Business Review about the 5 things you should stop doing. It is a good article.
Most of my October month was spent asking myself "What next do I want to accomplish?". I had a project that I had planned and after some long thinking sessions I concluded that I want to write a book about Steve Jobs. So I started and after a month I stalled.
Maybe I need to stop? Maybe I am doing too many other things I need to stop in order to focus on the book? I know I need to stop something. What? Maybe I am saying yes to too many things? Which things?
I currently do not know the answers to my questions. Maybe by the time this post appears I will?
Today's question is:
"What 5 things should you stop doing in 2012?"
P.S. The article can be found at
