2022 Resolution – How to Set Achievable New Year Goals

A New Year’s resolution is a tradition, most common in the Western World but also found in the Eastern World, in which a person sets achievable new year goals.

Understanding Resolution and How to Set Achievable New Year Goals

The person resolves to continue good practices, change an undesired trait or behaviour, accomplish a personal goal, or otherwise improve their behaviour at the beginning of a new Calendar year.

According to the time management firm Franklin Covey, one-third of resolutions don’t make it past the end of January.

A lot of these resolutions fail because they’re not the right resolutions.

In this article, we are going to help you set achievable new year goals in your resolution.

• Do A Personal SWOT

The first thing you should do is use the SWOT analysis. The SWOT, the strategic management technique used to help a person identify his/her Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats, can help you write your resolution.

Writing your resolution helps you to understand the difficulties and experiences of the past year and enlighten you to set achievable goals in the new year.

• Making a SMART goal

SMART stands for Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Timely.

It’s one fitness that professionals rely on to help clients set doable goals. It’s also pretty handy for any New Year’s resolutions you’re mulling over right now.

Making a goal SMART is a great tactic to increase your chances of actually sticking with it. For many common New Year’s resolutions—like exercising more, changing eating habits, and saving money—implementing this method can help.

Here’s an example of a SMART goal

I will exercise for 20 minutes three times a week.

The non-SMART version of that: I will finally start exercising regularly.

The first one lays out a specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and timely goal. The second one is vague and provides no clear direction for how you’re going to do it.

Of course, you’ll also want to think about details, like when this workout will fit best for your schedule, what activity you will look forward to doing, and more.

But thinking within the SMART framework is a great way to plan your goals.

• Set Compelling and Achievable Goals

Setting Compelling and Achievable goals gives you a sense of direction. It also helps to see the bigger picture and focus on the most important ones.

• Write your Resolutions

Writing your resolutions will help you progress in life by stating them in the present and not in the future.

Don’t use the ‘I will’ or ‘I shall’. It mentally pushes your achievement into the distant future.

It also promotes procrastination.

You must set consistent and time bond goals, Reasonable and challenging that can be measured.

It should not be ambiguous or grey areas.

Be thorough-write all the details, prioritize them, organize them, revise and improve them daily.

With these few points, we are optimistic that 2023 would be an improved year. Keep in touch.
