Huh??????
You see, it's all about the resolutions and goals we all tend to set at the beginning of the year. I love the excitement and promise a new year brings. I hate the disappointment and feeling of failure that unmet expectations bring. So, I started something a few years ago that has revolutionized the way I start my year. Well, maybe not revolutionized, but definitely taken the pressure off. Want to know what it is?
My new year doesn't officially start until February 1st. Simple.As.That.
I realized that December is so full of Holiday happenings that I don't have the time to invest in making reasonable goals that are attainable. Plus, I would rather be focusing on the beauty of Christmas than thinking about "the future" that is January. I then spend all of January working on my goals and plans for the new year. By February 1st, everything is ready to put into practice, and I am much more likely to be successful.
Some of the things I worked on during January:
- I chose my One Little Word for the year (hint, hint)
- I designed a layout for my notebook that will be useful in keeping me on track
- I listed 3 goals for each month of the year. I will not get behind, I will not work ahead.
- Cleaned and purged in order to simplify
I think my plan is doable. Of course, I know I have to be adaptable, but I will not use that as a crutch.
So, what about you? How are you doing on your resolutions?
