Welcome back to The Savvy Organizer for 2008! In our first show of the year, Maja shares her hints for setting New Year’s Resolutions, and shows you step-by-step how to be successful in achieving them! It’s going to be a GREAT year!
Step #1 - Write down your Goals (Consider and write down - How is your life going to change? How are you going to apply this? Be detailed. How is it going to feel once you accomplish your goal? How will you preserver when you want to cave or quit? What is your back up plan to keep you going?)
Step #2 - When are you going to work on your Resolutions? (Schedule time to accomplish your goals and work on them, set up babysitting, transportation, or whatever you need ahead of time)
Step #3 - Decide…Does it need to be a family effort? (Talk to your family about their Resolutions too, ensure your own success by gaining the support of those around you.)
Step #4 - Look at your Goals daily and evaluate how you’re doing, how you can improve or make it work for you. Tackle it with renewed vigor the next day.
Step #5 - Don’t Give Up! - “the point of New Year’s Resolutions is long term change…it’s about becoming a better person.” - Maja. (do your best, don’t beat yourself up, don’t give up!)
In our comment section this week we invite you to share with Maja what your resolutions are, and how you will accomplish them. We love to hear from you! Good luck everyone with your goals for 2008.
