"100 Changes I Made In A Year"

"100 Changes I Made In 1 Year" - very interesting and open list from Fresh Creation's Martijn van Osch:

How many of these are things that could benefit your life?

What else could you change to have a healthier, more creative 2009?

Lots of good things in that list that I could work on. A few I've done this year. One silly but important step was allowing myself to delete emails unread if it gets overwhelming. I can't tell you how freeing that was. And nobody died!

[Dan Goodwin]

I agree Lin, I do that far more now, just delete a whole batch if it gets too much, start again the next day.

Also have to do that with CCS discussions, it's good to follow a variety but when I have over 100 emails notifications a day or more I stop following a few discussions. None of us can keep up with everything going on here!

Also, for me, there can be a fine line between reading and contributing to discussions that are useful and helping me and others be more creative, and just reading every single thread as a way to avoid doing something that for me would be more productive, like writing new articles, or developing new courses and products...

[Lin Neiswender]

That is so true Dan. When I find myself spending 3 hours on nothing but email, something has to give or there really isn't any time left to be creative!

What an interesting list! I think it's important to point out that you can and should choose what changes to make in your life and not just adopt someone else's ideas wholesale. Do what feels right, good, and makes you feel better even if it means deleting my (always!) important emails (Lin and Dan). LOL!

Sorry Sweetie-nothing personal- hugs!

Loved reading this Dan. It made me think of all the things I did in 2008 and all the wonderful things I will do in 2009. Life is joyous.
