New Year's Resolutions

I'm not a great one for New Year's Resolutions but I'm tempted to resolve to be!

New Year's Aspirations, yes. Follow through, discipline and long-term commitment leading to success, less so.

Yet, I think aspirations are a good idea. Be deliberate, have something to aim for.

Apparently, "lose weight, get fit, find love" is unlikely to work. You are most likely to succeed if you aim at one specific and measurable thing you really want and continue to focus on it. Some way of achieving it might help! Write down small actionable goals and chart progress. It could encourage you to remember the progress you've made (especially if your commitment is weak) and / or how much remains to be done (especially if your commitment is strong). Telling others of your commitment can help, so feel free to comment! You could even team up with others to achieve your goals. Enlist some cheerleaders.

You've got a few more days to decide!
