Happy New Year!
Nearly every conversation this month includes a question about New Year’s resolutions, so I’ve compiled a gigantic list of SMART (read doable) goals, complete with themes and categories, to help you out.
Themes include:
- Money (1–13). A topic critical for all of us!
- Writing (14–30). Since most of the folks on this platform care deeply about it! —
- Reading (31–41)
- Career (42–53)
- Health (54–66)
- Community (67–74)
- Leisure (75–82)
- Family (83–89)
- Spirituality (90–94)
- Travel (95–101)
If you feel ambitious, you may want to indulge in “habit stacking”, where you attempt one or two habits for a month and move on to the next one once it gets ingrained. Pick one for each of the themes and start on multiple habits. Don’t try to do too many lest you feel overwhelmed!
