Are you planning yet for 2010?

Now is a great time to start evaluating the year and planning for a better year in 2010.

I don’t know about you, but I’m hoping for an even better year. 2009 has been one of the hardest years for Cheryl and me personally that we’ve had in recent memory, and while most of the reasons could not have been avoided, (deaths, sickness, hurts of others etc.) there are things we can do now to plan for improvement.

I try to start by asking myself a few questions. Here are some random ones I have used before:

• What do I want to improve upon or accomplish in the new year?
• How can I accomplish my goals for the year? What action steps need to be taken? What changes in my life need to be made?
• Are there disciplines I need to add to insure success in a particular area of my life?
• Do I have the accountability and structure in my life to carry through with these disciplines?
• How is my walk with Christ? How can it be improved?
• What things could I stop doing to give myself more time to accomplish the goals I have set for a new year?
• If I know the direction I want to go in the new year, what changes need to be made to head myself in that direction?
• What areas of my life need the most attention for improvement; work, family, leisure time, finances, health, etc.?

You can think of better questions. The questions are not as important as the process. Start planning now for an even better year.

Do you plan for the new year? What strategy do you use?
