The first month of 2020 is reaching its end, and so are a lot of resolutions.
A sense of renewed spirit settles back down in all of us between the first and last day of December every year. New hopes and ambitions beckon us. As Earth completes a full circle around the sun, its inhabitants regain consciousness of how time is finite.
“Set the bar high” is a popular saying, and setting the bar way too high to reach for is a common consequence of that phrase. It’s exciting to jot down what we want to alter about ourselves, but when we choose to only bask in the hopes of accomplishing them, then the train of progress struggles to make it out of the “planning” station.
Like a voracious diner at a buffet, we tend to clutter our plates with too many resolutions. Instead, we could fill our plates up with a few goals, finish them for the day and revisit the resolution list counter for another plateful. This will help us make significant progress in achieving our objectives and will help us stay inspired and motivated to do more.
What we expect to gain by the end of the year would be severely limited if there’s no well-planned strategy in order. To address that challenge in the best way, I’ve got a one size fits all solution. One resolution that is equal to a hundred resolutions. It includes planning, strategizing and executing. The answer is journaling.
By making everyday journaling a major part of your new year, you will be able to create multiple goals and stay on top of all of them. I find writing down what I want to accomplish on the previous night of the day just before bed an immensely useful technique. I was all for spontaneity and going with the flow, but this new routine helps me work towards my goals efficiently and saves a lot of time from going out of the window.
The feeling that ensues every time I check a task off the daily list is incredible. Looking back on your progress on a weekly basis will aid you in evaluating your ambitions and will help you optimize your plans better.
So gather everything you want to accomplish and a mental picture of who you want to be this year, break them into daily tasks, start journaling and see the difference you’ve been looking for all along.
