Planning for the New Year

Let's make 2018 a great year!

Once the rush of the holidays is over, it's time to look forward to the New Year. Kickoff 2018 with a bang with these helpful tips for planning a successful year.

1) Review this Past Year

Before you dive into planning for the next year, take some time to evaluate the previous year. This is not meant to be a negative activity, so don't dwell on your low points. Instead, try to be as objective as possible and think about the things that worked for you and the things that just didn't. Celebrate your accomplishments and recognize your failures. Everything is a learning experience, so do your best to use what you learned and carry this information into the coming year.

2) Set Your Goals

Now is the time to ask yourself what you'd like to accomplish this coming year. Try to focus on goals that are reasonable and actually accomplishable. You should also make sure you are setting both big and small goals for yourself. If you only focus on your big goals, it can be discouraging when you cannot meet them immediately. That's why it's good to throw in a couple relatively easy goals to keep you motivated. Once you have established your goals, record them and write down the steps you should take to meet each goal. This will help you stay on track as you attempt to cross each goal off your list.

3) Invest in a Planner

Another way to make the new year successful is to get a planner and use it. Using a planner to schedule both work and personal commitments is a great way to stay organized and on top of things. While digital planners are useful tools, consider investing in a physical planner as well. Many people find that they can better remember their appointments when they take the time to personally handwrite them.
