Women's Careers: The January Ritual

We are three weeks into the New Year. Many of us have created our goal list for 2010 and are looking forward to an exciting year.  For people like me, who battle an inner drive toward work addiction, the list of professional goals is usually longer than the personal goal list.  My response to that challenge this year was to position my personal (self-nurturing) goal list first for each quarter of the year.  This means that each time I review my goals, I must read over the personal goal list first--a good reminder that self-care is my priority for 2010.
