Internet Resolutions

With the coming new year, I thought it was time to take review and make some internet resolutions for the coming year.nnNow these aren't the typical kind of personal resolutions like losing weight or quitting smoking.I have in mind resolutions as they relate to thetime and work each of us spends on the internet each day.nnSo, here goes:nn-- How about dealing with others as you would want them to deal with you ? (sounds familiar doesn't it)nn-- Be helpful to those who are just starting out and grasping for answers.nnIf you will remember, when you first started onlineyou probably couldn't tell the difference in a browserand an ISP. There is a learning curve for everyone.nnI received lots of help from others who had been online for a while. I have fun offering others help now.nn--- Managing my time better is a "biggie" for me. It just seems that there are not enough hours in the day.nnAlthough I must admit that it is very easy for me tobecome distracted while I am working at a task onthe internet. I find myself clicking on a link to check out a site and before I know it, I am surfingaround to all kinds of new places.nn-- Give more time to family and friends. This really goes along with the one above. Our families deservesome of our time each day. Mine demands it.nnPlan your activities for each facet of your life in orderto devote some to work, to family and to time for relaxation.nn-- Listening better to what others are saying. I shouldbe able to paraphrase what others say and repeat itback to them to their satisfaction.nn-- Answer E-mails promptly. Seems like an impossibletask some days with the deluge of mail we receive.However, if you will just set aside some time for thistask, you can accomplish it.nnWhile this list is not all of the potential resolutionsthat I could make, it is a starting place for you andme to examine ourselves and make needed changes.nnThe new year brings with it whole world of newopportunities. Here's hoping that each of us canapproach it with some resolutions of our own anda positive attitude to make things better for all.nnHappy new year...nnLarrynnArticle is Available by autoresponder:Resolutions@freeautobot.com
