2016 Goal

Think, Believe, and Act with a Healthy Balance

I am trying to do a couple things–consider issues of mind, body, and spirit–done in a way that is neither too much not too little, all while considering some of my present and projected needs.

So, what does Think, Believe, and Act with a Healthy Balance mean, at at the beginning of January, 2016??

  1. Delete-Do-File (of email, mail, communication, and expectations)
  2. Learn through Connecting (as #connectedlearning and #networkedlearning is valuable, and key to the actor-network)
  3. Read and Share (thanks to #SixtyBooks or #5Papers, all of which really becomes valuable when we discuss them with others)
  4. Let Some Things Go (I need to protect my limited time, especially when faced with good causes or factors that I hesitate to say NO to even when I am unclear as to the benefits to me)
