Every week I do a video blog (of VLOG). This week I talked about New Years Resolution.
When I started this, I was very scared of putting myself on video, so I got the courage and put myself in the arena, killing a lot of bad self talk.This gives me the chance to work on my communication skills, start a new medium, and experiment!
Once a week, after I have thought about them, I will give them a day here on the blog.
These aren’t just promotion posts (although they are, please watch and share 
) I want to take the time to break them down and try to clarify what I want to communicate and the tactical things I learned through doing.

What I Wanted To Communicate About New Years Resolution
Resolutions are tough to deal with because they usually are a binary proposition, meaning that it’s an easy way to avoid them, so I prescribe something different for 2016
- Big Themes – A strategic look at your year. What are some of the big themes or traits that you want to improve. The bigger the better, they should cover a lot of ground.
- Small Milestones – These are the tactical things to tackle. Attach them to the themes. “Going to sleep earlier” is something that attached to a theme of “get healthier”. Themes don’t change but milestones do.
What I Learned Doing This Video
- Getting easier to talk in controlled bursts. The first few videos had some odd breaks, but now I’m getting used to talking “within the margins”
- Cutting the before video after felt a lot better.
