It’s no longer news that at the beginning of every year people get so engrossed in making “New Year Resolutions” that they may never keep. A lot of people have so made a ritual out of it that even kids now recite those words like nursery rhymes.
Resolutions are statements of strong intents. They define what has been determined to do. Contextually, they can be referred to as plans or goals. The problem is not often the willingness to make plans, rather it is the successful execution of the plans.

I guess you might have seen a lot of write-ups on planning and goal-setting already, so let’s drop that aside a little.

The essence of this article is not to further inspire you to make sweet and ambitious goals, but to enlighten you on practical and effective steps to take in order to fulfill any realistic goal that you are focused on this year.

These steps are proven to be effective for just any kind of person with a touch of discipline. Trust me, a 9-year old can follow this through fruitfully.

1. Forget About New Year And Think Of New You
If your resolutions are motivated by the euphoria or vibes of a season or by people, then such resolutions will not survive a journey of two weeks. Focus less on the “new year” and more on you, your development, challenges and growth.

2. Have Realistic Goals
Don’t try to impress anyone by having very bogus and “difficult to actualize” goals. You’re not in a competition with anyone. It’s better you “snailishly” crawl your way to success than run your way to failure.

Take out time to think your goals through. Like I said earlier, the aim here is not for you to be inspired to target lofty goals, but to be empowered to execute any reasonably targeted goal.

3. Pen That Stuff Down
Ink lasts longer than thoughts. Get a nice looking book where you will pen down your New Year resolutions and all that pertains to it. The idea is that, even if you brain mistakenly loses track of any detail, you will always have something to fall back on. Also that book will be used for your resolutions’ appraisal.
