Motto for 2009 (and 2010, and '11, and...)
I have decided the lesson I'm going to strive to learn, live, and love - starting now - is "one thing at a time". I may be able to have several things going on at once, and theoretically complete tasks to a satisfactory degree, but I enjoy things more and retain information better if I put my full attention on one diversion rather than multitask. Besides, if I decide to have a movie playing, for example, doesn't that movie "deserve" to be focused on? If I can so willingly relegate it to the background, it's not worth putting on in the first place...
