The Small Picture

The last year – the last decade, really – was a whirlwind. Though I’m proud of a lot that I accomplished, all too often, I had more plates spinning than I could keep up with. Work projects, hobbies, time with family and friends; it all piled into a to-do list well beyond what I could reliably complete each day. I made mistakes. Things I cared about, things that I claimed in the abstract were priorities, in practice regularly fell by the wayside. (Cf., my erratic blogging schedule here.)

So, this year, this decade, I’m doing my best to triage. I’m trying to do less, better. I’m paring down my list, focusing in on those things that really matter to me. And, hopefully, I can then do those at least slightly more consistently in the days and weeks and months ahead.

Wish me luck.
