I think this is a great idea at New Year. It is called Topics du Jour and is a journaling technique. It takes about 5-10 minutes per day and it is used to review, plan and put your life in more perspective. What you do is: Number down a page from 1 to 30. Write in each line one aspect of your life that you would like to monitor. Then over the next month, look at the corresponding topic and write a paragraph or two about it. You can write about your plans, or maybe about a specific problem you’re facing in that area. Or perhaps you will end up just rambling — it doesn’t matter. The important thing is that you’ll be spending those few daily minutes specifically giving attention to what matters in your life. It is quick, intuitive and, above all, it gets you into the daily habit of connecting with what’s important in your life. Here are a few examples of topics you can write about: •Career •Family •Friends •Health •Money •Spiritual Life •Learning/Study •Freetime •Ageing
