If I did, I'd totally forget about it before the end of January.  So,  no.

I use the word “unacceptable” in certain situations. Seems to work wonders.

"LYL"

Life your life.  My remaining years are far fewer than those I've already lived, I don't have time for worrying about what I cannot do anything about, hours and minutes are taking on more significance in my sense of time.

LYL pops in my mind anytime I find myself wasting time or just thinking on something that isn't productive or good for me or the universe.  Ha.

“Simplify” and “Less is More.”

I do not have a word this year but years ago my word was “discipline”.  I was trying to get into shape which required me to get up an hour earlier each day.  When I woke up sleepy, I said the word discipline and got right up. Pretty soon it became a habit and I no longer needed the word. It really helped at the time.  Words have power.

Mindful humility.

Agreements.🙂

(all five of them)

Spoiler

• Be impeccable with your word.   ”Speak with integrity.   Say only what you mean.   Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others.   Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love."
  
  
• Don't make assumptions.   ”Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want.   Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama.   With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life."
  
  
• Don't take anything personally.  ”Nothing others do is because of you.   What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream.   When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering."
  
  
• Always do your best.   ”Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick.   Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret."
  
  
• Be skeptical, but learn to listen.   Much of what you hear isn’t true.   Humans speak with symbols and symbols are truth because we agree, not because they are truth.    When you learn to listen, you understand the meaning of symbols;  you understand their story, and communication improves.
