9. Review your resolution regularly
Let’s face it: if you don’t periodically reflect on your resolution, you won’t carry it out. Thus, continuous reassessment is essential to achieving your aim.
This review should occur at least once every month, but the more often the better.
Here’s how to include goal review into your daily routine.
- Plan a yearly “big picture” assessment during the first week of every year. You may use this as a planning meeting to allocate more manageable tasks and objectives to various weeks throughout the month.
- Check in once a week to see how the monthly objective is coming along.
- For lesser resolution chores, set a daily reminder.
Even while it can seem a bit insane to keep your resolve in mind every day, it is those modest, incremental adjustments that add up to big changes over the course of a year.
10. If you fall off track, get back on quick
Rome wasn’t constructed overnight.
We’ve established that it will take some time for your resolution to materialize, and we are aware that change is challenging. In reality, we’ve already demonstrated that we ought to allow for errors and failures.
Keep in mind the following:
- Skipping an intermediate task is not a complete failure
- Missing a goal by 10% or even 80% is not a complete failure
- Finishing a task late is not a complete failure
- A moment of weakness is meaningless in the grand scheme of things
Setbacks can occur, but as long as they are managed properly, they won’t have an affect on the main objective. Avoiding a defeatist mindset, such as “Well, I messed up once, why should I even try to do this anymore?” is crucial.
And if there is a setback, it’s crucial to comprehend what caused it and how to prevent a repeat of it in the future, i.e “After work, if I play video games, I won’t go to the gym. Never engage in video gaming after work!”
Once a mistake has been committed, accept responsibility for it and move on. For instance, if you missed a study session, make it up the next day and carry on. Your resolve for the year shouldn’t be ruined by a few little errors!
Learn new skills this year
We hope that these ten actions will enable you to stick with your goals and have the finest year yet.
