Really invest time into thinking about the specifics of what you want to achieve and how you can achieve it. What exactly do you want to accomplish? Why do you want to attain this goal? What is your motivation? How important is this resolution to you? What action steps are required to achieve it? Are interim steps required first? What additional information do you need to determine how to move forward? What are the obstacles to your success? What/who are available resources to support you in achieving it? With whom should you share your resolutions? What is your deadline/target completion date? 2. Prioritize your resolutions by their importance to you, the scope of your goal, and your ability to achieve them. Select one or multiple resolutions to work toward. 3. Create a specific, measurable, and actionable plan for executing on each resolution: Devise a system for tracking your progress, and be sure to incorporate celebrations for the completion of action steps. Set aside time on a daily/weekly basis to work on action steps related to your resolution. Add reminders to your calendar/to-do list. Share your goals with friends, mentors, managers, and colleagues so they can offer support and advice or hold you accountable. Recognize that you will hit roadblocks. Be resilient; plan for obstacles, and seek advice on how to overcome them. 4.
