After putting aside my 2008 year-end holiday to-do list and concentrating on just one resolution, i find myself with this:
Practise Tai Chi daily (at least 20 minutes per block)
I was finding it difficult to just aim for one resolution. There are just so many things that I would like to put on to the list, but if I put more, I’ll achieve less, as with previous years. That, I guess is the paradox of quantity – the more you do, the less you seem to achieve. So, if I were to achieve just this one goal, I think it’ll be a great 2009! I’ll keep the other goals as bonuses if I were to achieve them. My other goals were:
1. read 52 books (that’s one book a week!)
2. run a marathon
I think i’m realistic enough to leave them out for now… 
If you think this is worth sharing, do share it with your friends. Thank you for reading.

Achieving one meaningful thing is enough. If you do that, other things will fall into place.
Thanks Rick. Seems like Steve is using a primary focus as well. I also found something similar through zenhabits.net called the power of less.
