We make new year’s resolutions at the start of the new year and after some time get weary or completely forget about them. The main reason our new year’s resolutions don’t work is that there’s no action plan attached to the resolutions. Without planning and time allocation ; just the optimism of “New Year” is not enough to fuel and motivate to turn the resolutions into achievements. 

Instead of making new year’s resolutions let’s be realistic and try to commit to a few basic things that can surely make a huge impact on our progress throughout the year.

Review and reset your goals

Review what you have achieved and also the things you couldn’t complete in the past year. Reset your goals accordingly. This helps you set realistic, manageable and achievable time-frame for your goals and helps you stay on track. 

Prioritize tasks at hand

Assess the tasks at hand and divide them into important and urgent. Cut out the non-essential projects, commitments, and things in your life. This will help you focus on the things that matter most and consequently the work will be completed in a timely manner. 

Plan for future

By reviewing the past year; you are aware of what is achievable, feasible and what you actually desire. This enables you to make better decisions and do long-term planning with the better understanding of what you are capable of accomplishing. 

Make the changes you always wanted to

Whether you want to make small changes to your routine or drastic changes in your work ethics, career or relationships. 

Now is the time to make the changes you always wanted to in your work, life, yourself or your surroundings.

Focus on yourself 

Self reflect and improve your relationship with yourself. Make yourself a priority and make time to do the things you enjoy. Create a plan and commit to self-care like skincare routine or mental health care or healthy dietary habits. Choose one thing to work on and gradually practice the things that make you feel good.

Practice positive-thinking

Positivity is a frame of mind. With this frame of mind; you are tolerant, calm and collected, fairly optimistic, live and enjoy the present, focus on possibilities and how to work your way up to achieve your goals. 

When you practice positive-thinking; your outlook on the whole becomes positive which results in progressive impact on your work-life. 

Start 2021 on a positive note, be kind to yourself, be optimistic and do the aforementioned beneficial actions to start this new year right. 

Wish you a very happy and prosperous New Year to you!
