I Think In Terms – updated 2017
This is how you stick to New Years resolutions, breaking them down into new day resolutions.
Seriously think about it. What is your goal? Is it something amorphous like ‘lose weight’ or ‘get organized’ or is it something very specific like ‘calling my mother every Saturday’ or ‘cleaning out my attic’.
Specific is better of course, but either way, you still need to break it down into parts. You can’t make every Saturday call on one Saturday, you are very unlikely to clean out and organize an attic in one day.
What part of your goal can you plan and do today? This week? Next Saturday? Break it down and guess what, it will appear more manageable and more interesting to tackle.
