Its a tradition that dates back to the babylonian era. We all tend to set new year resolutions and try to work them to closure every year. Although a resolution can be made any time of the year - new year seems to be a good way to set new targets and goals. Reason - well forgetting the past is a tough thing - a new year automatically ensures -

a new diary

new dates

new holiday list etc.

But all our new year resolutions tend to be short lived. Here are a few tips to help them last longer

1. Set realisitic goals : Most new year resolutions are made in the wake of urgency. Normally decided upon just a day before or on the new years eve. Goals should be set much in advance and attempts muct be made to abide by the resolution prior to the new year eve.

2. Write down your new year resolution in your brand new organizer or diary.

Use the following format

Sr. No.
 New Year Resolution
 Actions required
1. Stop smoking
  1. Will stay away from peer group into smoking during lunch hour.
  2. Will request family and friends to remind me of the resolution each time they see me smoking.

Put this goal sheet on your pedestal or cubicle in a place where its visible to you.

3. Disclose your New year resolutions to as many people as possible.

Disclose your new year resolution to everyone. For example you could tell your girlfriend that you have made a resolution to take her out on weekly dates. I bet she would remind you of this and ensure you spend adequate time with her. Same is the case with a resolution like “Quit smoking this year” OR “Stop drink drive this year”.

Some new year resolutions to save the planet

1. Plant atleast one tree this year.

2. Stop wasting electricity and fuel.

3. Use energy efficient home appliances.

4. Make my factory produce least amount of emissions and dispose waste in the right way.

5. Do one good deed everyday

Well HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF YOU…!
