- Pick one resolution, or one more than you completed last year. Your odds of staying focused improve.
- I got a job.
- Look at last years list and evaluate where you failed. Too ambitious? Where did you give up? Use this self-knowledge to inform this year’s resolutions.
- The job only lasted three months. I gave up looking for a job because no one wants to hire a highly skilled, old fart.
- Break any resolution into monthly goals so you have short term focus.
- Jan – Look for a job. Feb – Find true love. Mar – Walk/exercise more often. Apr – Learn more about health/beauty. May – Appreciate flowers/bugs/nature. Jun – Get a tan/life. Jul – Grow my hair. Aug – Buy new wardrobe. Sep – Do more gardening. Oct -Put on a happy face/mask. Nov – Thank parents/teachers/Gods. Dec – Gift egos.
- Find a friend who can sign up to the same goal. We are social creatures, and our goals should be social.
- Listen to Maw and Paw.
- Write down the resolution and sign it. Writing has power.
- Get a job and keep it. Signed, Flynn…
- Put your written resolution somewhere useful (e.g. in front of the fridge)
- Okay. But I like to conserve paper.
- Have a daily positive task – mark off a day on a calendar every day you’ve met your resolution. You get a positive visual reminder you’re on your way.
- Okay. I’ll blog more and better.
- Divide further: simply make a resolution for January, and re-evaluate on Feb 1st.
- Okay. That’s if I remember!
Hello Flynn, nice, and good luck!
