new years resolutions

Hello friends,

Does anyone create new resolutions anymore? I haven’t heard anyone mention them this year.

I make resolutions, and this year, I would like to possibly fix my Christmas madness problem. And by fix, I most definitely mean that I will be a touch more organized. I know that’s kinda funny coming from me. But that is my goal.

I learned what was called traditional advice about goal-making. That is to use the acronym SMART. (I think this was from David Allen; I heard it from Ali Abdaal) Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Timely/ time-bound

So, my SMART goal is to complete projects that I want to use as gifts before December. I have three parts to making this work. Part 1- Create a master list of Christmas projects that I want to complete, with an estimated time needed to complete them. Part 2- Place them in my calendar with deadlines. Part 3- Stick to the plan!

Will this work? I’m hopeful. Please share if you have any New Year’s resolutions! I love to hear them!

with lots of love
