Last night, my friend <a href="http://reinventingerica.com" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/reinventingerica.com?referer=');">Erica O’Grady</a> and I had a wonderful long phone conversation about life, goals, the past year, what lies ahead, what we want to improve, and our <a href="http://reinventingerica.com/2009/12/29/have-you-picked-your-themeword-for-2010/" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/reinventingerica.com/2009/12/29/have-you-picked-your-themeword-for-2010/?referer=');">ThemeWords</a> for 2009 and 2010. Like Erica, I&#8217;ve been picking ThemeWords since 2008, and it&#8217;s been fun seeing this idea from <a href="http://lifecamp.pbworks.com/LifeCamp" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/lifecamp.pbworks.com/LifeCamp?referer=');">LifeCamp2007</a> inspire so many people!</p>
<p>In 2009, I began with the ThemeWord FLOURISH.  Throughout the year, I met amazing people, completed important projects, and grew tremendously, but it was also the toughest year to date in every aspect of my life.  While I kept my sights on flourishing, a more appropriate ThemeWord might have been SURVIVE because, miraculously, I did.</p>
<p>Like so many other people, I am excited and relieved to see a glimmer of hope for the new year.  My 2010 ThemeWord is TRANSFORM.  In these last few days of 2009, I am preparing by tying up loose ends, setting goals, decluttering my computer, seeking advice, and exploring new tools.</p>
<h4>How about YOU?</h4>
<ol>
<li> What are your goals?  Your <a href="http://search.twitter.com/search?q=themeword" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/search.twitter.com/search?q=themeword&amp;referer=');">ThemeWord</a>?</li>
<li> How will you check in, stay on track, and measure progress?</li>
<li> What strategies and methods do you use to get things done?  How have you developed &#8211; and stayed with &#8211; a system of follow through that you trust?</li>
<li> What tools do you use to manage information overload, keep resources organized (especially links and digital files!), follow through, connect with people, and interact more efficiently with your world?</li>
<li> Are you still searching for tools and techniques?  What has &#8211; or hasn’t &#8211; worked for you and why?</li>
</ol>
<p>I can’t wait to hear your ideas and suggestions!</p>
