Make New Year plans

This is the time to take stock and make plans for 2023.

        Enjoy your break but use the time to dream and make plans. Where do you want to be this time next year?

        Don’t let your past experiences retard your future achievements. You don’t know what you can achieve until you really try – it’s amazing what you can achieve if you believe you can do it.

        This handful of tips can change your life –  give it a go!

        First, make some quiet time to help you daydream and plan.

Set your goal or goals

        What changes do you wish to make? A new location? A new home? A new job? A new qualification? A new partner? …  or whatever.

List the actions you need to take

        These should be simple and realistic. What needs to be done? Now put your list into a logical order. Aim to attack them step by step.

        What resources will you need?

Prepare a timeline

        Estimate the time required for each step and indicate when they should be completed.

Make flexible plans

        Try to identify possible problems – consider alternatives just in case things go wrong.

Get started

        Starting is often the hardest part. Think positively and get started. Every step taken will give you a sense of achievement and encourage you to continue on to the next step.

This year make an effort to get a reputation for being an achiever – meet deadlines and get things done!
