However, there are many who end up reneging upon what they promise themselves to do in the new year. Recent statistics say a large number of people never actually accomplish their resolution or quit their progress as the next year comes. A lot of this is attributed to untracked progress, large and unrealistic goals, forgetfulness, and overextension of different objectives. It is these things that discourage a lot of people from pursuing resolutions. This is why a different perspective is needed when approaching resolutions. First, these resolutions have to be small, measurable, and uncomplicated to increase chances of achieving actual success with them.

There are some suggestions here that will be provided for more efficient and concise resolutions that can be considered for 2023. • Planning a better budget as well as how and when to spend. It’s recommended for the long term to consider one’s money situation, especially in terms of whether or not the economy is experiencing a downturn or inflation. Considering how much money is thought about, it is most likely something one can be committed to. Make sure the budget plan starts small and not encompassing in case emergencies or unexpected circumstances happen. Try to avoid easy shortcuts with money, especially high-risk situations like investments in stocks or crypto. • Sustaining health is very important, especially as you grow older. Don’t go for a dramatic change within a year. One has to account for one’s personal discipline for diet and exercise. Like a budget, do small goals like losing five pounds in one week or eat a certain amount of calories for a day. Avoid putting yourself in temptation to things that cause you to ruin your resolution. • Think about cleanliness or personal hygiene. If one tackles being neat and clean, instead of tackling multiple chores in a single day. Set aside certain days for certain chores, like laundry on Saturday or garbage on Monday. Create a schedule to keep up with the routine so it isn’t easily forgotten or overlooked. • Make it an objective to learn at least one new skill within the year. It doesn’t need to be mastered, but at least try to know how to do such a skill. The amount of personal passion and investment in wanting to do a skill also factors whether or not it should be a resolution to be pursued. Think about the difficulty and the resources as well. Try to start something simple if it is the first time learning a new skill in a while.

Hopefully, such examples give better strategies to aspire to better planned and feasible resolutions to whoever reads this. Just in summation, start small and don’t overextend, do something that is something that would be beneficial long term, reflect why these resolutions are being pursued, and be better organized and disciplined. Here’s to 2023 and those who seek to better their lives with the coming New Year!
