goals_on_dwWe made it to the end of January! \o/ If you have completed any of your short-term goals or subgoals, and/or you're still chugging away at your ongoing goals, then pat yourself on the back. You worked hard for that. About 95% of New Year's resolutions crash and burn before the end of January. If you're still going, you have beaten the odds!

Your Resolutions
The end of January marks the end of the malleable period for those of us who use this month to adjust the goals we've set. Take stock of your resolutions. How many did you make? How many have you completed, or at least started? Is there anything else you want to adjust while it's still easy to do so? How do you feel about your 2025 goals so far? If you're still working on this stuff, you're still making progress.
How long does it take to cement a new habit? That depends on the type of habit and your personality. The range runs from about 18 days (for small habits and/or people who love routines) to 254 days (for more complex or challenging habits and/or more spontaneous people). Common examples include 21 days, one month, and 66 days. Make a 21-day trial or use the 21/90 rule. Use the "one a month" rule to develop new habits through the year. Check out 100 ideas for a 30-day challenge. Here are 18 tricks to make new habits stick.

Completed: 11 previous + 2 new = 13 total
Begun: 26 previous + 1 new - 2 completed = 25 in progress and 2 completed
(most of these cannot be finished quickly)

Date: Saturday, February 1st, 2025 10:05 am (UTC)Oh, that's an interesting approach. All goal-setting methods are valid, it just depends what works for a given person.
>>This has reminded to get back into that again.<<
That's good to hear.
>> Maybe some art and writing goals too but I struggle even more with that because my life tends to be chaotic & messy with a good sprinkling of bad luck. :(
You might try something small to see how it fits. I like the format "do X for Y times" because it's flexible so I can usually fit it somewhere.

Yay! Support definitely helps.
