The new year is a great time to reflect on the year going and plan for the year
coming.

Regarding Information Technology, going over what you had hoped to accomplish in
the previous year, reflecting on what was successful and what was not can help
you set realistic goals for the new year.

However, when doing this planning, keep in mind the principle that [there is no
one problem, and no one fix][one-fix].

In addition, I recommend you don't get bogged down in details, you'll never get
anything done that way. By freeing your mind of the details and thinking
strategically, you'll put a better plan in place to begin with.

Of course, you have to make sure that you don't overlook an important detail
that kills you later on. But thats a subject for a later post.
