Hello. You don't have to set resolutions on January 1. **You don't have to do anything you don't want to.** But if you haven't set goals and still want to, maybe trial some this month and "commit" to them later. How about Feb 1?

NPR has a great tool to help find some ideas.

Once long, long ago, @vmstan Tweeted about how he outright told some salesbro “I don’t pay retail” and it worked. For a year or so after, I tried it with incredible success. Somewhere along the way I forgot to do it. Resolving to be more direct w/ sales types in 2024. #47resolutions

I guess that’s it. TL;DR review:
1) SMART goals
2) Document and revisit
3) Focus on habits and behaviors that support your goals rather than the outcomes themselves
4) Have some fun ones

I normally tag stuff like this with #47resolutions (a hold over from bird site) but forgot today 😭

I recently set a 30 minute per day limit on Instagram. It reminds me to focus the majority of my time on this community. Engagement here remains nuts. Likes and replies with high fives and what not. And some boosts too, which is fun. ALSO: Minimal confrontation. ❤️

Thanks for being here, folks.

If you need a New Year’s resolution, maybe setup a time limit on some bad-for-you app too?

Anyway, I just gave Best Buy ~$300 for fancy toothbrushes to aid the family with a different 2023 goal/resolution.

Same price, but we'll get them three days later than Amazon... Whatever!

Kiddo got some unpleasant news from the dentist last week. A real wake-up call. Figured I should really lead by example (like @Jillianmarisa) and we locked in a brushing goal for 2023. Also bought everyone fancy new electric toothbrushes. Huzzah!

I try to ensure we are a retrospective family with goals and supports in place to keep us moving forward. Most years are mixed. This one was no exception.

Later (Sun/Mon) I’ll share some insights from my year. I’ll also share some success tips I’ve picked up along the way in case you want to get more formal with your own measures.
