Every year, we make resolutions. Every year, a large percentage of us don't keep them. I'm one of those. This time, I wanted to take on a different approach to keeping a list of resolutions.
- Set realistic goals: Nothing says unrealized goals like making a list of goals that may possibly take longer than year to accomplish. If buying a brand new car is on your list, make sure you at least have a savings set aside for the down payment.
- Do it for you: Small goals are still big goals. If you want to lower your coffee intake, don't make it public knowledge when you've gone two months without caffeine. You'll feel more accomplished if you keep it to yourself and not expect others to acknowledge your achievement.
Monthly tasks: After reading "The Happiness Project" by Gretchen Rubon, I wanted to follow her system of taking on monthly tasks, but being specific about each one. If boosting your motivation level is something you want to focus on in January, think about the things that would do just that and focus on those aspects. If lack of sleep is affecting your energy and motivation, think of ways to tackle this problem. (e.g., getting more sleep, drinking more water, being more productive etc.)
Good luck! I'll be posting more often as I take on my goals!
