Tag: keeping your new year’s resolutions

A loved one has issues
completing projects.
He told me
he didn’t know why.

So I asked him
to write me a weekly letter,
talking about
his projects
and what he’s done on them.

I reminded him
about these letters
for a year.
I saved each one.

Then I gave them back
to him
and told him to read them.

It was an eye-opener for him.
Habits that didn’t seem
too bad
in the moment
were obviously a big problem
over time.

When I’m trying to make
a change,
I keep a diary on the topic.

Writing down the steps I’ve taken
is powerful.
It ensures I’m doing things
consciously.

Reading what I’ve done
allows me to see more clearly
errors I repetitively make.
I can then make corrections.

If you want to make a change
in a certain area,
consider keeping a diary
of it.
