I can’t believe this is the last week of 2023 and next week we enter into a new year. 

Are you ready?

Did the year turn out better than you thought? Did you crush the goals you set for yourself?

I am excited about all the new possibilities the new year will bring. As the year draws to a close and we begin planning for 2024 it is important to:

STOP

SLOW - DOWN

AND

REFLECT

Many times we can run through the whole year as if we are in a race and end up at the end of the year feeling unfulfilled. I know this has happened to me on occasion. I need to review the post I wrote called, What Is On Your Mind to see how I can improve my mindset so I can’t stop feeling so hurried but I digress. :)

My challenge to you is to press pause a few times during the holiday season to journal and reflect on the wins, challenges, and learns so that you can make next year a better year than 2023. After you have reflected on the activities of the past then think about starting to plan for 2024 for your business and personal goals using this process:

First create S.M.A.R.T. goals, specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound. Next, try this process to measure your progress:

7 - measure your goal in one week to see how you are doing.

30 - measure your goal in one month to see how you did for the month.

90 - measure your goal as a milestone to see if you crushed it. 

I encourage you to try this method to help you to stay focused on your goal attainment. If you are looking for more tips around goals check out the post that I wrote this month. 

The end of the year is fast approaching and we can set ourselves up for success by slowing down to reflect on how the year went, create S.M.A.R.T. goals for 2024, and use the 7, 30 & 90-day approach to measure progress. 

Happy New Year & Thank you for reading~

Keep IT Sunny!
