Promise to myself

Instead of making a long list of NY's resolutions on things that I know I will not really do, or will do for a little while and then stop... I have decided that I will try new things and make some changes but instead of making resolutions, I will make one major promise to myself... I am determined not to be overwhelmed!! The most important thing to me that concerns me is my mental and physical health and well-being. Last year and in the past, I have immersed myself in whatever job, educational endeavor, relationship (when I was in one) etc. and left little time for myself. This year I simply Will NOT do this. If work is not done by 5pm at the latest, it will wait until the next work day. And on Friday... The work will wait until Monday. My job will have much less of my time that should be devoted to me. I will write my ass off on my dissertation as well as my book and work hard on building my business! I will also travel, have "me time", and just take time to watch tv and/or read books. I promise I will take much better care of myself and worry more about me! I know better, so it is time for me to act as though I do. Again, not a resolution. But a promise.
