Happy New Year 2012! While everybody is busy talking about resolutions and weight loss I have finally attacked one of my many pending projects. You see the thing is that a resolution is nothing but an idea suspended in your brain. Without a plan its going no where. Through the years I have amassed an exorbitant amount of design and trade magazines. They sat in pretty little towers in the floor of my home office. Each tower had its own distinct personality. There was the Architecture tower and the travel to exotic places tower and the someday I will become a gourmet chef tower. They kept me company and were very helpful every time I was in need of a pretty glossy visual to get inspired. I knew they were getting out of hand and contemplated various ways I should dispose of them. I never had the heart to do it. I never had a plan.
Two days after Christmas while I was away visiting a friend the hose to the washer decided to explode. You get the picture. Suddenly all those pretty little towers found their way to the trash. It took me a few days and some planning but I finally did it.
The lesson here is that making and executing a plan is better than having a plan come to you. So to all my friends making new year's resolution I need to say: No resolution! What is your plan for 2012?
