Highlands Ranch, CO USA It's funny, I never make a New Year's resolution. I've always set my goals too high and then faltered and assumed I'm just not the "resolution" type. This year I decided to give myself a break and try for something that is probably reachable. I am going to strive to lighten up on the job. Not in the sense that my work will suffer, but just enough so that I can keep in perspective the fact that ...if it doesn't get done, no one is going to die, it'll just be a day or two later than usual. I'm fortunate enough to already have a job which doesn't really require a written deadline; it's about time I make myself understand and enjoy that benefit. That should be a super stress reliever!
