Resolution Strategy: in 3 words

The great thing about Twitter is, I don't feel obligated to read, word for word, what every person I follow is thinking or doing. So if I'm behind in reading tweets I scan over them for things that pop out at me.

Today I caught a link to a blog with an idea on how to attack your new years resolution. Cool I thought. I'm going to attempt at accomplishing my many goals with three words. http://www.chrisbrogan.com/your-3-goals-for-2009/
His idea really simplifies an overwhelming feat to tackle lots of 2009 goals. And he's used this strategy for the past few years.

I've come up with my three words:

Save. Pay. Finish.

Save:

  1. Save time
  2. Save money
  3. Save memories
  4. Save the environment
  5. Save the drama for yo' mama
  6. Save my computer
  7. Save for a new computer
  8. Save your excuses
  9. Save my health
  10. Save my breath

Pay:

  1. Pay attention
  2. Pay with cash
  3. Pay down debts
  4. Pay it forward
  5. Pay a visit

Finish:

  1. Finish what you've started
  2. Finish "unpacking"
  3. Finish work daily
  4. Finish with a bang
  5. Finish for a fresh start
  6. Finish strong
  7. Finish with forward momentum

These three words quickly got my brain churning. This is the start of a list I expect could be pages and pages long by the end of 2009.

Yet, I'm not overwhelmed in the slightest. All I have to do is apply these three words to my everyday. If I'm thinking about doing something that doesn't fit in with any of these words then maybe it's not worth doing. I can evaluate and move on.

What three words apply to you?
