Why is it so hard to achieve New Year’s Resolutions?
I recently read this headline “Studies Show 91 Percent of Us Won’t Achieve Our New Year’s Resolutions. How to Be the 9 Percent That Do Four Strategies That the 9 Percent of Successful Goal-Achievers Do Consistently Well” and immediately wanted to read the productivity article on how to achieve goals. Not only have many people already given up on their goals, but it’s a chronic problem EVERY January. So how do those of us who set reasonable and realistic goals achieve them? If we want to declutter our house or change our eating habits this year, how do we set ourselves up for success?
According to the article by INC, these are the four strategies to achieve goals.
- Set specific and challenging goals
- Set goals you want to pursue with relentless drive and passion
- Get a support system
- Focus on smaller goals to hit your big goal
It makes sense. Make good goals. Be passionate about your goals. Get some accountability. Divide your big goals into smaller, achievable ones. Whether you made New Year’s Resolutions or not, you probably have some goals you’d like to accomplish in the next year or so.
Declutter your house
If decluttering your house is one of them, I have good news for you. I will meet you halfway there.

Motivational emails and the opportunity to email me your questions or comments are the support system.
