I don’t believe in New Year’s Resolutions but I do believe in dividing the year into quarters and setting attainable goals for each period. It helps the year become more productive for me. Usually people who divide the year this way create between ten and twenty goals. They can be anything you hope to accomplish in a three month period from tiny to large. This is especially helpful when you have chronic conditions that affect your short-term memory like I do. Writing things down and keeping lists is rather comforting for me, like an extra support system.
I forgot to post a blog with my winter quarter goals, however, so we’re going to start fresh with spring goals. At the end of the spring quarter, we’ll come back and see how many I succeeded at and which ones need to carry over into the summer quarter.
