January poll: what tops your to-do list?
Posted on | January 2, 2009 | Comments Off
Ringing in the New Year on a Thursday is a bit weird because you spend Wednesday night partying until very late, then you have Thursday off to recover, and then it’s Friday and you’re weekend is starting.
Unless, of course, you have the sense to just take a long weekend or a short vacation.
So here we are: it’s the end of the week but the beginning of the year. You have this one day to work — or not — but on Monday, of course, the world gets started all over again.
Which brings us to our January poll: what’s at the top of your to-do list?
Of course, we all have all those things to do but I’m interested in what you are planning to do first, as a priority. There’s lots to think about when making that decision.
There’s the calendar and the fact that it’s a new year. There’s the state of the economy and how it was impacting your business as last year drew to a close. There’s your own business planning and what you have been wanting or meaning to do right after the holidays, regardless of all of the above.
And who knows? Maybe you hadn’t really decided what you’re going to do first. Maybe you’re feeling as disorganized as I am right now. Maybe this will be a good opportunity to force you to make up your mind.
Hey, I live to serve.
Happy New Year!
