New Year’s Resolution Success:- 25% stay committed to their resolutions after just 30 days- Only 8% actually accomplish them

Why is it so hard to stay on track? Goals are…

• Too big
• Too vague
• Not measurable
• Not realistic
• No contingency plans for tough days 

Prep for Success!
Use Dec to prep for change- 3 Parts…

• Reframe It
•  Track it
• Organize it

Part 1 of 3: Reframe It

• Change your words – “don’t” instead of “can’t”
• Break big goal into Daily Action Steps

My Goal – Improve my time management…be more time-efficient.

Reframe It: Change my words…

• I don’t waste time!
• I don’t use Facebook or internet w/o specific purpose…I don’t use it to “kill time”.

Daily Action Steps

• Create To Do List
• Prioritize tasks by number (1 – most important)
• Time block the next day

Part 2 of 3: Track It:

My Goal – Improve my time management…be more time-efficient.

• Two ways…
  1. Track what you currently do
  2. Track what you WANT to do
• Both require Time Blocking

• Break day into 1/2hr blocks
• Assign a task to EVERY bit of time
• Reassign blocks if you get off-track

Part 3 of 3: Organize It:

My Goal – Improve my time management…be more time-efficient.

• Prepare the night before
• Give task a time limit – use alarms
• Eliminate all distractions
• Plan ahead (bring book, look forward in calendar)
