How To Set Goals and New Year's Resolutions Effectively![]() As the year draws to a close, many of us feel a surge of motivation to set new goals and achieve what we couldn't in the previous year. But why does this phenomenon occur so strongly at the end of the year? Perhaps it is because the end of the year represents the completion of a cycle, signaling a fresh start and a new opportunity to achieve our aspirations. Although this may seem like an illusion, it can be a powerful force if we channel it correctly. In this article, we will discuss how to avoid common mistakes and pitfalls when setting goals and resolutions. We will also explore how to turn this external motivation into tangible, achievable goals, allowing you to make real progress towards the things you want to accomplish. ![]() In the past, each December I found myself engaged (sometimes in a frenetic way), determining what my New Year's Resolutions would be. The first thing I would do is go back to the last year's list and tick all those that have been achieved. Most of the times the result was somewhere between "ok" and "satisfying" and if there are a few unsuccessful resolutions, I just convinced myself that those were not important enough to make it to the final round. My next step step was to figure out what I wanted for the following year. The last two years though, my New Year Resolution list is somewhat different.
