    According to Statistic Brain Research Institute around 40% of Americans form New Year’s Resolutions year over year. At face value, forming a New Year’s Resolution is worthy of praise. It’s an ode to oneself and to the universe that they will improve in the upcoming year. But beneath the surface, a phrase such as “I’m going to start a business in 2022” is nothing more than an intent to partake in an ambitious endeavor by an undisclosed date. In other words, it’s nothing more than hot air.

    Make Your Resolution Actionable​

    If you want to make resolutions you will actually see to the finish line, it’s important that you make them actionable. The best way to do so is by leveraging the SMART framework. You resolution should be:

    • Specific
    • Measurable
    • Attainable
    • Relevant
    • Time-Based
    Following this framework turns simple resolutions like “I want to be skinny in 2022” into impactful proclamations such as:

    I’m going to lose 24 pounds by December 15th, 2022 in order to live a healthier life.

    I learned the S.M.A.R.T framework at my last job and it helped me craft way better goals. It's cool to see you mention that plus mentioning how the past and tomorrow don't exist.

    We really need to make better new years goals I know I been tryna looks like The Rock for like 3 years straight but "look like the rock" aint a good enough goal.

    Not very realistic either, because of many things like genetics and finances, let alone time. Dwayne can take a long time off to train for a role because he's financially secure for life, we don't have that luxury.

    Most certainly. SMART framework was a radical thing for me at one time but now I use it subconsciously. Great video Jay

    I know a lot of people who do this every year. They say they are going to get ish done but nothing comes of it. By March/April, they have completely given up. You can't put weight on a date and pressure yourself. If you have a goal, go at your own pace and do what it takes to reach that goal.

    Happy New Year everyone!
