5 Tips for STRESS FREE resolution Success!
- Recognize that achieving a resolution requires the same planning and tenacity as any other important goal in life.
- Pick only ONE resolution!
- Make sure it is concrete, specific, clear and measurable (e.g.: I will increase production 5% this year, NOT I will produce much more this year; I will lose 10lbs this year, NOT I will lose a lot of weight this year; I will turn off my PDA during non-business hours, NOT I will talk less on the cell-phone).
- Write down 3 short-term goals towards achieving your resolution (each should take a few weeks to achieve), and 3 long-term goals (which should each take a few months to a year to reach). This is the business plan for your resolution!
- Review your goals throughout the year and revise them if necessary so that you have achieved your resolution by 12/31/2010.
