Last year, I wasn't as productive as I wanted to be. Burning out midyear took its toll on my career, business, and financial goals. It got to the point that I was so tired and fed up, I didn't care anymore for my all my work (job, side jobs, etc.). I knew it was bad; I knew I had to value my job, etc. - but that knowledge was suppressed by a gamut of negative emotions and fatigue. Mind over matter didn't work. After a few months, thank God I recovered. I'm still taking it slow, but needless to say, I'm very glad to be out of that rut.
One thing I hope I learned from that experience is how to manage my tasks and goals. It also gave me renewed energy which I am excited to release this Year of the Metal Tiger - 2010.
According to the cosmos as interpreted by ancient Chinese stargazers (i.e. Chinese Horoscope), the following are things that I should consider for this year:
There is a need for:***
*Consistency
*Security
*Practicality
*Building on Established Sucesses
*Setting goals that appeal to familiarity, routine and nourishment.
Stay away from:
*Fad Diets
*Experimental Marketing Techniques
I was intending to try new marketing techniques for my networking business but now I think I should be more cautious in doing so. All in all, the above points are good advice on how to channel my energies this year. :-)

I don't consider myself religious but being back in Church with my family actually feels good. It's still boring (hehehe) but the peace around me is a very welcome change to the holiday rush a few weeks back.
