Want to go from 'drowning' to peace of mind?
Are you ready to make 2024 your year of success? It’s time to set some goals and make them stick! In this blog post, we’ll dive into the power of goal setting and how you can achieve your dreams by focusing on one habit at a time. So, get ready to kick off the new year with purpose and passion!
Setting goals can be overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. Instead of creating a laundry list of resolutions, let’s simplify things. Let’s focus on four key areas: what you want to do, what you want to have, who you want to be, and how you want to live. By narrowing down your goals to these four categories, you can create a roadmap to success that is both attainable and inspiring.
So, let’s get started! Grab a pen and paper and let’s dive into each of these categories:

What do I want to do?
In this first section, write down all the things you want to do this year. Whether it’s going on a vacation, writing a book, or organizing your home, jot down all your desires and aspirations.
The action to achieve the goal:
Next, for each goal, identify the one habit or action that will get you closer to achieving it. For example, if your goal is to declutter and organize your garage, the habit you need to establish is decluttering. Start by getting rid of items that no longer serve you, clearing out space for your organizing solutions.
What do I want to have?
In this section, think about the things you want to have in your life. It could be anything from new boots to a well-structured meal plan, or even getting more money. Write down all the things you desire.

The action to achieve the goal:
For each item in this category, identify the one habit or action that will help you reach your goal. For example, if you want to have a healthy lunch ready for yourself and your family every day, the habit you need to establish is meal prepping. Set aside time each week to batch make salads or prepare meals in advance.
Who do I want to be?
In this section, reflect on the person you want to become. Do you want to be someone who reads more, listens actively, or takes charge as a leader? Write down the qualities you want to embody.

The action to achieve the goal:
To become the person you aspire to be, identify the one habit or action you need to adopt. For example, if you want to be a parent who listens more actively, make it a habit to truly listen to your children or spouse without interrupting. Practice active listening by letting them speak first and taking the time to understand their perspective.
How do I want to live?
Finally, think about the kind of life you want to live. Do you want a clutter-free home, a stress-free routine, or a healthier lifestyle? Write down your desired living conditions.
The action to achieve the goal:
To create the life you envision, identify the one habit or action that will help you live that way.

For example, if you want to live with less clutter, establish the habit of “picking up what you put down.” Make it a rule to put things away immediately after using them. By instilling this habit in yourself, you can lead by example and inspire your family to do the same.
Now that you have your four goals and their corresponding action items, it’s time to put your plan into action. Remember, simplicity is key. Focus on one habit at a time, and give yourself grace along the way. Progress is more important than perfection.
