What you need to know:
Everyone has them. Everyone blogs about them. Everyone breaks them.

How to fix it:
If you have plans for the New Year, keep quiet about them. For one reason or another, when we chat about our resolutions or plans, we tend to not accomplish them.
Rather than write a blog post about your intentions, carefully write them down on a piece of paper. Get specific and cut out the dead wood. If you have a list of ten items, reduce it to a list of five.
While you may be able to make progress on your entire list, pick one to really focus on. Consider this another step towards making sure that you actually want what you are asking for. Upon waking, review that item. Upon getting ready for bed, review that item. If that particular goal seems too big, break it up into chunks. It’s like selling software – you don’t launch and then hope for a million loyal customers. You launch and work towards getting your first customer. Then you get your next ten, fifty, and so on.
Good luck!
