SMART Resolutions

2023-12-27 Mama Minimalist

A New Year’s resolution is a tool that helps us become the best possible versions of ourselves. And yet research finds most people abandon their resolutions by February.

Many New Year’s resolutions fail because they’re too broad, too lofty, and not at all time-sensitive. On today’s show we set ourselves up for resolution success by applying the 5 components of SMART goals to our 2024 aspirations.
