A new year is always a time for new goals, ideas and ways of doing things. When you want to benefit the most from a year it is best to have resolutions or intentions that are set and achieved within the duration of the year. But this can't be done without an effective means of setting and managing goals in a manner that ensures that they are achieved. New Years resolutions are therefore important when it comes to success and development.
Make a list of your New Year's resolutions. This can be done by taking chart paper or normal paper and writing down all the things you want to achieve in the New Year. On this list also plan out by which months you hope to have attained particular goals that are on the list. A list is always a good reminder that you must achieve certain goals you may have forgotten even though they're very important.
Simplify your list of ambitions by breaking down listed resolutions into smaller goals. If you're thinking of starting an orphanage you can break it down to: fact finding; choosing of site; sourcing of donations and registration. When you start achieving smaller goals your confidence and motivation receive the lift that separates the successful and the near misses.
Once that is done you should immediately set out to achieve your resolutions. New Years day is usually a time for partying and celebrating but in actual fact it's the day before. Have as much fun as possible on the 31st of January and make sure you're making moves towards your year's objectives on the first day of the year. This will inevitably boost your motivation and you will see yourself unmoved when pressure begins to set in.
Expose your resolutions to people you can trust. This includes close family and friends who will never be jealous of your success. It is people like these that remind us of our intentions in life so that we don't lose focus. You will notice how such people will apply pressure on you to achieve, something that would have lacked if you had kept your resolutions to yourself.
Tick off things that you have achieved off your time-line chart. This always gives a powerful lift of confidence and gives you a sense of achievement that will give you the urge to do and attain more goals on your list.
