I spent the day today reviewing Apt Design’s 2008 business year. While I exceeded many of the goals I set at the beginning of the year, there are others I still need to work on. I have revised many of my 2008 goals based on how last year went, and have tried to set realistic yet challenging business goals for 2009.

This year I am also trying to be much more specific in my goals and make actionable to-do items for each one. A few things from my 2009 Goals are:
- Start putting money into a retirement account
- Get better at checking email only twice/day
- Plan specific “Apt Design time” for creative projects, working on the business, brainstorming, etc.
- Enter at least 2 design competitions
- Live more in the moment (got this one from Leo)

How about you? Have you given yourself ample time to review your business and life from last year and create some goals for the new year? Care to share any?
