“The self who makes New Year’s resolutions is a different self from the one who has to carry out those resolutions for the rest of the year.” – Angela Duckworth
Clarity Kickstart:
If your New Year’s goals and resolutions were forgotten long ago, you’re in good company. So how can we bridge the gap between those ‘two selves’ Duckworth mentions – the one who sets the goals, and the one who actually follows through on them?
As she shares in her newest book, Situated, a surprising factor in losing sight of our goals is one that is actually fairly easily remedied:
We often simply forget.
We don’t think we will, but we do. Then time passes, we fall behind, and even the best of intentions can fall by the wayside.
This week, consider the goal you most want to achieve before the year ends.
Then, make it visible.
Post a visual reminder on your bathroom mirror or computer monitor.
Make it your phone wallpaper.
Put it on a whiteboard in your office.
Hire a coach or secure an accountability partner who will check in with your progress regularly.
Increase the odds of achieving your goal by keeping it front-and-center. A simple solution that could work wonders!
