The end of the year and the start of the year is always an exciting time for everyone. For me, it’s exciting because I get the chance to reflect on the goals from the previous year and then set new goals.
Setting goals at the beginning of the year has helped me a lot. They gave me something to aim at throughout the year. They worked as a compass throughout the year to help me stay on course. It also added some structure to my year and how I approach it every day.
Last year when I set goals for myself I didn’t expect the changes that would happen in my life. When I set the goals I didn’t know that I would change my job and move to a new city. I set the goals based on my situation on December 31, 2021. For this reason, a lot of the goals became difficult to sustain. I ended up staying on track for two of my goals. The rest I couldn’t due to how my life changed.
For next year I do want to change my approach to setting goals. I wanted to set goals that can adapt to my life changes. I also want to divide some goals that I will definitely be able to stay on track for. Then I also want to set some secondary goals that will have some buffer. Hope I will be able to set the right goals this time.
