Do you resolve to make changes in your life and find yourself frustrated when you fail to keep your resolutions?

The problem is rarely the ambitious goal that we set. More often, the problem is our inability to facilitate the changes in our lives that are needed to achieve the goal.

If one of your resolutions is to get more organized, find time to meet an important goal (exercise, spend time with family, pursue a hobby, tackle a large project) or prioritize your days so you experience less stress, take these important steps for the next week to prepare yourself for success:

Step 1 - List your top goals and priorities.

Step 2 - Keep track of what you do during the week.

Step 3 - Compare your goals with your reality.

See how you spend your time, what you talk about, the people with whom you spend the most time. At the end of the week, evaluate whether your activities and thoughts helped you or held you back from achieving from your goals. Develop a personal action plan that you can follow to move you closer to your goals.
