Everyone is busy doing new year resolutions. Do you make resolutions? Do you keep them? And if you do, for how long?
I gave up making resolution years ago because they never worked
and then I felt guilty when I broke them, so I switched to making goals. It’s
kind of nice when you start a new year to think about where you’ve been in 2018
and evaluate those goals and then focus on things that you’d like to accomplish
in 2019. I try to make them realistic and measurable. For example, last year I said I wanted to start
sending out newsletters a few times a year. I managed to send one out before
the end o the year – so I accomplished that goal.
I usually divide my goals up into at least two different
categories – my personal goals and my writing goals, which is what I did this
year. For my personal goals – do I want
to lose weight? Of course I do, but will I? Who knows?
Instead my goal is to eat healthy. I’m going to follow the Mediterranean
Diet which is the top diet for healthy eating. My main goal is to be healthier, reduce and keep
my blood pressure low and feel better. I also want to increase my exercise and
aim for 7,000 -10,000 steps daily. And I’d like to work on time management.
This also works with my writing goals. 
My writing goals start with time management. I want to be
more organized, so I write every day, even a few minutes and find some time to
keep up with marketing and promotion. I
want to sed out 4 newsletters this year, do one or two guest blogs a month. I
want to spend more time on the business of writing and learning about it, do
more promos and gift books, do a few more ads.
We’ll see how I do. I’d love to hear some of your goals
for 2019.
