My words for 2010

Posted on January 1st, 2010 by tim bursch. Filed under ideas, personal development.

Last year (wow 2009 went by fast) I picked three words based on Chris Brogan’s idea, but did not put them out there. This year I want to be more public with my goals and direction. So, here are at least three words that I want to be intentional about in 2010:

follow-through, practice, stand

Follow-through

I love ideas. Especially new ones. I am going to work on following though with some existing projects and a few new ones. I might need your help. Watch for more on accountability and protection.

Practice

A book that impacted me in 2009 was The War of Art by Steven Pressfield. It is about working through resistance in the creative process. This takes practice and action. I will be practicing a lot more writing and delivering ideas about the intersection of social media and social impact.

Stand

I really like to listen to people. Sometimes that can mean holding back when I probably need to say more. This year I want to stand. Especially for overlooked people and issues.

What are you going to be intentional about this year? How can I help?

Awesome post! Since you asked, over @ Tt(h)B I have taken an intentional "stand" for the opportunity to start a "Mass Collaboration" project at the end of the month. I can think of no greater way for "overlooked people and issues" to stand out than what I have in store. I will keep you posted.
