Excerpt from What are the Do’s and Don'ts of New Year's resolution-making?
12/19/2018
There are two components to New Year’s resolution-making:
(1) The development of meaningful and attainable goals.
(2) Tracking progress toward reaching these goals.
- Do identify 1-2 goals associated with each “category” of your life, e.g. professional development, fitness and nutrition, financial. Don’t haphazardly identify and list a dozen goals without any organizational structure.
- Do set a weekly self-check-up appointment on your calendar to track progress of your 2019 resolutions. Don’t hope “things will come together” after setting your 2019 goals. Periodic assessment of progress will ensure accountability.
