I have done Your Best Year Yet (YBYY), by Jinny Ditzler a couple of times. The first time I didn't stick with it for much more than a few months as some pretty yucky things happened that year and I didn't have enough experience to turn it around whilst still working on my YBYY goals. The second time I tried it, quite a few years later, I found it very useful but then let it lapse the next year. Recently I came across my records from that year and realised that although I might not have achieved all the goals that year, I have achieved some since and many of the things I learnt along the way are now a part of my life. I decided to work through the book again with a view to either following the Best Year Yet plan that results or just to see what the plan would be and cherry picking a few things to work on.
Taking a break after question eight "what are my goals for each role" and giving myself time to add to the list before thinning it and finalising it I was having a poke about and came across Colleen Wainwright of communicatrix and a very interesting list of self improvement sites to visit.
It's hard to stick with it, huh? I struggle with it myself. Taking it slowly is a great idea; I think I'll start my process even earlier this year. Thanks for the reminder.
