If I read a book a month, this means my reading for 2010 is taken cafe of. Wow.

My Three Guiding Words for 2010

Special thanks to Chris Brogan for suggesting this process. I enjoyed mindmapping my three guiding words (okay - phrases in my case). I have a map with the steps, distractions and 'what's next' information, then summarized the key points in this image to post up at my desk and in my notebook.

This wiring process will also meld beautifully with my letter to the board I plan to write this week. No, I'm not a CEO, but at the same time I have a 'board' that I am responsible to - folks like my manager, my Chief, my fellow faculty.
