In the “Your Words” section of the January ’09 Real Simple issue, the question for the month was “What is on your not-to-do list for 2009?” I’ll share more about my New Year goals/resolutions in a later post, but I just love that question!
My answer: Not to “throw my pearls to pigs”. Practically for me that means to not give what is precious/valuable to me (i.e. my time/energy/money/etc.) to those who are unwilling (or unable) to appreciate it. In 2008, I realized that doing so (in various areas of my life – personal/ work/ etc.) really drained me and prevented me from being my best overall.
So…what is on your not-to-do list for 2009?
