Yesterday, my 5-year-old reminded me how instinctive #strategicthinking is when she created this treasure map. She came bounding into the room, enthusiastically telling me that she was going to go on a boat to find some treasure. (I promise you, I did not guide her thinking at all. It was Sunday evening, and I was in Sunday-evening-half-asleep mode).

Are you making New Year’s Resolutions this year?

What’s your track record with resolutions? What kinds of things have you resolved to do? And have you kept them?

Over the years, mine have included spending less time on my phone, being on time, and going to bed earlier.

They have been resolutions that I have 100% meant at 11.59 pm on New Year’s Eve, and have managed to keep for maybe… a month.

Sound familiar?

Why is it that we make resolutions with good intentions, resolutions that we know will help us be happier, healthier, or more productive, but often struggle to keep them longer term?
