 |   The Saga of Prosperous Snow Continues |
Thursday, December 28, 2017 “The object of a New Year is not that we should have a new year. It is that we should have a new soul and a new nose; new feet, a new backbone, new ears, and new eyes. Unless a particular man made New Year resolutions, he would make no resolutions. Unless a man starts afresh about things, he will certainly do nothing effective.” G.K. Chesterton, A Chesterton calendar The "Blogging Circle of Friends "  prompt for DAY 1869Do you make resolutions? If you do how long are you successful? If you don't why not? Do I make resolutions? Yes. I usually make my resolutions at Naw-Ruz, which is when I celebrate a New Year. However, this year I'm returning to something I did a few years ago. Used to begin the Gregorian year with a list of goals, worked on them, and then reevaluated those goals a week or so before Naw-Ruz. At that point, I either decide to toss some out because they are no longer valid or continue working on all of them. This year I have a list of eighteen goals I want to complete between Naw-Ruz 2018 and Naw-Ruz 2019, when I reevaluate them in March I will decide which ones are feasible. How long am I successful at keeping them? Sometimes I am successful at keeping most of them, and sometimes I fail at keeping any of them. I suspect my biggest problem is keeping tack of my successes and reevaluating at specific intervals. I have come to the conclusion that I need to review and reevaluate them every three or four months. This way I can keep a closer eye on my accomplishments, while tossing out those that I have achieved. I haven't decided if I should replace goals I've achieved with other goals or what. Right now I think the only time I will toss a goal and replace it is at Naw-Ruz. Another thing I need to do is to pick one or more goals (resolutions) to focus on each week. I will just note what I have accomplished on those items each day. That way I can look at them each evening to determine what I need to do to accomplish specific items. |
