What's in your wallet?

A popular TV Commercial in the USA advertising a credit card has the tag line "What's in your wallet".

As we think about goals for 2008, and review the goals we achieved, (or not) in 2007, what is on your list? What is on your list to achieve in 2008? Are you going to try again to:
1. Lose weight
2. Exercise more
3. Save more money
4. Reduce your credit card debt
5. Spend more time with my family.
and so on?

I want to try something new to me this year. Instead of yet another "To Do" list, with too many tasks that never get "To Done", I have started a "Not TO DO" list. My theory is that if I can identify habits that consume time out of proportion with the value of the benefit I get, I will stop doing them. (Hey don't laugh, it is worth a shot. Not trying something new will provide the same old result)

What are your plans for 2008? What will you do differently in 2008 that you did not do in 2007?

In short, we have a lot of choice in how we invested our limited time on this earth. Life is too short to zealously create and adhere to To Do lists.

I will leverage my accountability partnership with Liz Trendowski more in 2008 to stay focused on the few tasks that make a difference each week, so that I can free up time to exercise more, be with my family more.

What are your thoughts on reaching your new year resolutions and goals for 2008?
