A BETTER WAY FROM KEEPING YOUR RESOLVE FROM RESOLVING

STEP ONE:                 CHOOSE A REALISTIC GOAL (must be something you have control over)                           

STEP TWO:                QUALIFY YOUR GOAL (real goals must be measurable and observable)

STEP THREE:             DEFINE YOUR GOAL IN TERMS OF SMALL STEPS (breakdown goal into small steps)

STEP FOUR:               SET UP A TIME LINE FOR ACHIEVING YOUR GOAL

                                   (Use dates, i.e.: by Feb 15^th etc, not “someday”)

STEP FIVE:                 CREATE A SYSTEM TO MONITOR YOUR PROGRESS

                                    (Without accountability you are apt to con yourself or fail to recognize poor performance, for example ask a friend if you can report your progress on a regular basis)
