If you’re like most people, you came up with some new resolutions for yourself, your marriage, or your family. New Year’s Resolutions can be hard to keep, as I’ve blogged about before. So this year, I’m endorsing a simpler idea: Remember one word. A friend of mine named Bobb Biehl inspired me to do this. Recently, I found some notes I took during one of his talks years ago. Bobb shared the importance of having a “single-word focus.”
It’s a great concept. Through the years, I’ve used this single-word focus at work and at home. One year, our one word was clarity: to be clearer on strategy, roles, and responsibilities at Family First. Your word might be something you want to do (verb), something you want to be (noun), or something you want to be able to use to describe yourself or the world around you (adjective). Here are 10 words to choose from.
