It feels as though 2022 just started, yet, here we are, preparing our goals for the new year. Prepping for the new year requires much more than writing a New Year’s resolution. It involves planning, organizing, executing, and accountability. These are all skills you can use in your professional and personal life.
Start with a goal. Let’s say you want to lose 100 pounds in a year, or maybe your goal is to get a promotion.
To lose 100 pounds or get promoted, first, you must find out why you aren’t currently losing weight or getting promoted.
Once you find the problem, research to find the solution. Be sure to give yourself a deadline to complete these tasks.
Out with the old and in with the new! Get rid of all those nasty habits preventing you from reaching your goal.
Throw out all those old files from the year that is over. File them away with your yearly/quarterly paperwork if needed, but get them out of your workspace so you can focus on the new upcoming adventures.
Get that 2023 organizer or planner so you can organize your bills and other daily, weekly, and monthly tasks.
You know what solutions you need to make to meet your weight loss goal or get that promotion — now you have to execute them!
Stay focused on your goals, and don’t lose sight of what is in front of you! Rather than focus on last year’s events, focus on what is to come and how to get there!
Ensuring you remain accountable is the final step. Responsibility for your accountability is an extra push that can get you to meet your goals!
Having an accountability partner whom you know will not let you cut corners can be extremely helpful.
Not everyone has the self-discipline to stick to a plan for an entire year or even long enough to meet their goals. Having someone who will hold you accountable for your actions and help you meet your goals will ensure your success.
So go out there and lose those pounds, get that promotion, and accomplish any New Year’s resolutions you have your eye on. Let this new year be a new beginning, and start preparing RIGHT NOW!
