Why I Ditched New Year’s Resolutions and What I Do Instead

I have an aversion to New Year’s Resolutions.

I don’t like them. I don’t set them.

It typically leads to a confused face and questions.

One year I spent New Year’s with a small group of friends. We decided on an at home hang. Honestly, the food rivaled any restaurant in the area. A fire was burning in the fireplace, and per usual, Dick Clark’s Rock’n Eve was playing in the background.

But mostly there was a lot of spirited conversations.

Then the topic turned to resolutions.

I cringed.

Apparently, it was noticeable.

Using SMART Goals to Usher in the New Year!

How about we change it up this year? Instead of making some well-intentioned resolutions that you'll likely stop doing by, say, January 5th, how about you set an actual attainable goal and create a real plan? I'm talking about accountability. My favorite way to do this is by setting SMART goals.
