What's the Resolution this year??

Well we're all just 2 days into the New Year 2010. And I've been feeling a strong energy of change for the last week. So I'm anticipating all the possibilities the new year has in store for me and the world around us.
I keep thinking about making some resolutions. Sure I've made plenty of them in the past ....and broke them within a few weeks, you know the unrealistic kind. And then there were the years I didn't bother to make any at all. What was the point since I kept breaking them anyways.
My real problem is procrastination, getting started on something, some idea with enthusiasm and then when it wanes slightly that's when I get distracted or put it off (for awhile). It's not hard when two children are constantly wanting my attention or something conveniently catches my attention like a new book (love to read), a new movie comes out or one of my hobbies (I mentioned before) demands more of my attention or work related events come up. There are so many things. The list is long. I could keep going on and on. But the point is I need to stay focused.
I always believed every other woman on the face of the earth was way more organized than me. And then I realized, after watching an episode of Oprah, how unrealistic my expectations were and even if there were women more organized then me it was because their "to do" lists were so long they didn't give themselves time to think. I certainly refuse to be like that stereotype. We're supposed to be enjoying life not be on the go constantly that we barely give ourselves time to breathe.
Maybe that's why I procrastinate. My world gets too busy and that's my spirits way of letting me know it's time for me to take a break so I don't burn myself out.
Maybe that's why there's the ones hooked on coffee, food, alcohol, sex, drugs, etc.. They can't cope with the reality they created for themselves so they do what they can to avoid reality altogether.
So I guess the resolution this year is going to be stop procrastinating. Sounds too tough off the start....going cold turkey. So how about I will make a conscious effort to not procrastinate nearly as much as I used to.....
Now I'm going to do what I'm trying to avoid.....putting away the Christmas decorations. One point for resolutions.
