Top Barrier to Achieving New Year’s Resolutions

Thinking about goals and resolutions is typical this time of year.  You may have written out your aspirations for 2010.  But even if you haven’, you likely formulated a few goals for the New Year even if your carrying them around in your head.

What is the biggest obstacle to achieving your resolutions?  It’s a lack of focus.  I once heard, “If you have 12 priorities, then you have no priorities.”  I’m not sure of the source but certainly agree!

The point is, if you cannot limit your top priorities to about three items; then you have too many priorities.  If you have 12 priorities on your list; that list does not contain your goals; it’s just a task list.  Anybody can write a “To Do” list.  But to take the time to really think about what’s important to you; you must force yourself to focus.
