The Problem With New Year's Resolutions

It's that time of year again. Many of us will reflect on our lives and resolve that things will be different in the year ahead. Thousands of us impulsively make life-changing promises to eat less, exercise more, stop smoking, spend more time with our families, and get our finances into shape.

"I will never eat junk food again." "I'm going to get in the best shape of my life." "I'll find balance between work and home." Any of these sound familiar? No sooner than the list of New Year's Resolutions is made, many are broken within a few hours, days, or weeks. With little thought being put into our goals, most of us are doomed to fail before we even begin to work on the things we most desire.

"Smart" Goals

So how do you increase the odds of keeping your New Year's Resolutions?

Goals we set at New Year's are similar to goals we might set at any other time of the year. If these goals are vague, unrealistic, or extreme, the odds of reaching them are low, no matter when we decide to work on them. There is a strategy for streamlining the goal-setting process to stack the odds in your favor.

The acronym SMART describes five important characteristics of a meaningful goal and each is described below. Learning to set SMART goals will give you an important tool to develop your New Year's Resolutions or other aims you may have.

SPECIFIC: Get clear on your target. Most people have a general idea of how they want to be ("happier, richer, or thinner."), but don't have a clear enough sense of the specifics. Make you goal as specific as you can. Rather than saying, "I want to get in shape," set a goal such as "losing 10 pounds."

Also, be sure to think through the particulars of how you'll reach your goal. Have a detailed plan, such as "I'll eat dinner at home during the week, take a 10-minute walk at lunch, and keep junk food out of the house." Thinking through these details will definitely increase your odds of success.

MEASURABLE: Phrase your goal in a way that allows you to track your progress. When you state that you will "exercise for 10 minutes a day" or "eat 1400 calories," it is easy to assess if you actually did. Having measurable goals allows you to answer the question, "How am I doing?" at any given point.

ATTAINABLE: Make sure your goal is one you can actually attain within the constraints of your life. Goals should be set so that they are slightly out of reach, in order to be challenging, but not so much so that there is no hope of achieving them.
