Happy 2017, SEers!

I don’t know about you, but I hate making resolutions. There’s a good chance it’s because I always set huge, nearly unattainable goals and get frustrated when I haven’t achieved them in the first week of the year. Yes, I know that’s ridiculous. No, I can’t seem to help myself. I’m doomed to fail before I even get going. This year, though, I want to try to do things a little differently. Maybe you’ll join me…

It goes without saying that smaller, incremental milestones are much easier to reach. I mean, there’s nothing wrong with lofty goals. Without them, our society would never improve.

But while we’re reaching for the stars, we need to first worry about building the rocket, launching, breaking orbit, and traversing the galaxy. (Believe that? Click here to tweet it.)

If your goal this year is to become a NYTBSA, I wish you…
