Personally, I don’t do New Year’s resolutions. I prefer to check in every month (usually on Sundays) on how the things I’m doing are furthering my main values, or areas of focus.
Remember, you can (within reason) do anything, but you can’t do everything: not today, this week, or this life. Not counting routine tasks, add one or two things to tomorrow’s to do list that will further a core area or value. Do this every day and progress will come!
Each evening brings the opportunity to resolve to make progress on the morrow in the things that are important to you. What might happen if you created the day in your head or on paper before the sun gets up, then slept on it? Plans don’t have to be perfect. It’s okay to start small and celebrate, if not a success, then the wonderful fact that you turned up rather than giving up.
