Analyzing Our Back Yards?

For most of us at this time of year we think a lot about what is or what was. We have the year in review on TV about sports, about the News, and on just about any topic we can think of. We ourselves think about the last year, our weight and the pounds we’ve gained or about our smoking habit and we make resolutions about what we hope to do in the New Year. But for many of us trying to think about our back yards and analyze what is wrong and what I would like to change, is not easy. We know we should do it before we start to change things but it just isn’t natural. For others it is easy and they know exactly what is wrong and what they don’t like but it is hard for them to think about the future and what they really want it to look like. That is life, we are all different.
Some of us try to use software or getting others to do the work for us but that alone won’t do it, no matter how good they are. They need our input before any changes can be made unless we don’t care and we have the money to just say to someone “Just do it”.
So how are your analytics? Have you taken or do you plan to take some time to evaluate what your back yard presently looks like and set new goals for 2008? This is a great time of year to work on it. The easy path and I tend to take it at times and make excuses of “I’m too busy”, is to just keep doing the same old same old. Someone once said that the definition of a fool is “someone who keeps doing the same thing and expecting different results”.
As I think about our back yard there are definitely things I would like to improve on this coming year. I realize that I will never be able to say there is nothing I want to change. That is because I am always thinking of the new and exciting not because I have analyzed it and am making change with a purpose. See that is why I find it harder to do the analytics, I am always looking to the new. I enjoy learning. I enjoy the road of discovery and if it isn’t one thing I find something else to work on. I am looking forward to this coming year. How about you? But to get the best results you need to have a plan and to have the best plan we need to first think about what is in order to have a better future.
Part of that better future could be some new outdoor furniture and you can get whatever you need at one of our two outdoor furniture stores “Teaks n More” and “Outdoor Cedars”. Make them part of your plan.
Next time I will talk about setting some goals for 2008.
Till next time.
