The Things We Tend To Forget When It Comes To Setting Goals For The New Year

There are things that are absolutely beaten to death when it comes to New Year’s goals and resolutions.

And then there are the things that nobody talks about but really should!

Let’s go there!

Look at today’s post as a bit of a checklist of the things you most probably forgot to think about when you set your goals for 2024!

Limit your time with Assholes. Life is way too short.
Do MORE of the things that bring you joy! And make sure you actually put those things on your calendar. A few years back, I decided to walk my daughter to school each day. It was one on one time with her that I thoroughly enjoyed. Glad I did it because someone pushed the fast-forward button and that little girl is now a 26 year old woman!
Make sure you take the time to continue to date your significant other. My wife and I have been married for 35 years and we’ve never stopped dating. After her Stage 3 cancer diagnosis this year in 2021 I am reminded that my time with her is borrowed and will come to an end one day.
Make sure you’re home for at least one family meal each week.
Begin and end each day with gratitude. The only thing worse than ending the day in a sh*tty mood is beginning the day that way. Each morning, before your two feet hit the ground, take a mental inventory of all you are grateful for. Can’t think of anything? Start with the fact that you woke up and have a roof over your head.
Have the balls to ask top performers how they do it I went from 60th to 12th (out of 350 reps) and took a sales team from 100th (out of 200 teams) to the top 5 by losing my ego and asking other people how they kick ass.
Don’t be so afraid of pissing people off. That doesn’t mean you should go out of your way to be a jerk, it means you shouldn’t be afraid of asking tough questions, having difficult discussions, and calling people out when appropriate.
Evict negativity from your life.
Stop watching the news in the morning. In their world, negativity sells, in yours it doesn’t.
Look in the mirror and assess your strengths and weaknesses. Then get to work on improving both.
Take more time to think quietly.
Don’t just conquer the world at work . . . conquer it at home too!
Know when it’s time to tell your ego to leave the room.
Find opportunities to combine work and play. Put your beach chair in your trunk and make calls from the park. Do your admin work from a Starbucks. You’re allowed to have fun!
Stop bringing your work home and home to work.
Stop checking your phone when you’re breaking bread with others. It can wait.
Laugh more.
Get something off your chest and then move on.
Deal with something you’ve been avoiding.
Get back to something you’ve given up along the way that you truly miss.
Work harder at your relationships.
Don’t dwell on the stupid stuff so much.
Find a way to give more. Could be a charity, food to your local food bank, blood, or your time.
Take a few “What the hell” days. My college professor taught me this one. A “What the hell” day is when you get up to go to work, and you say “What the hell” and take that day for yourself.
Be a little quicker to turn on your Spiritual GPS. When you do, please put in a good word for me!

There’s lots more we could add to this list but;

I hope this at least gives you a good start!
