New Year's Resolutions


For a long time, I was adamantly against New Year’s resolutions. Why suddenly start trying to be a better person on an arbitrary date? But in recent years, I’ve seen that there is some validity to it. It may be a random start date, but if it makes you feel like you’re starting with a clean slate, why the heck not. But the hard part is keeping up with them. People tend to make goals that require sweeping change, and then feel bad when they inevitably fail at them.

88% of New Year's resolutions fail!! Here are 12 tactics to help you meet and keep yours.

I really like this article on how to reframe your resolutions into more realistic goals with specific steps to take. I actually put together an Excel chart with my goals and steps.

I love the idea of associating your routines with rewards so that you're more likely to follow through with them. I need to figure out some rewards and add them to my chart!!

My resolutions are to work out regularly, continue to eat healthy, finish my screenplay, and work on more creative projects. But these sound pretty good too:
