Resolutions in three words

It's the second day of the new year. Are you already slipping on your resolutions? I schlepped to Trader Joes in the rain earlier this week to stock up on fruits and vegetables (trying to recover from my graduate school diet, which was....less than stellar). Here's a little trick I read about last night that could help keep us all in line!

Chris Brogan chooses three words to focus on his New Year's resolutions.

The idea is that you choose three words that will remind you of the steps you want to take to achieve your goals. So for example, if your resolution is to lose weight and you want to do this by eating more plant-based foods, you might choose the word "green."

"The words you choose will go past being a simple goal and will become part of the way you identify yourself," he writes, "and thus, a guiding light for your efforts."

I tried this with my (very long) list of 2014 resolutions and came up with: vegetables, one and weekly. Any guesses what my goals for the new year are?
