What about 12 overarching goals for the year…i.e. Jan – clutter, Feb – relationship, March – exercize…..and do one thing every day for that goal, for that month. I would like to be able to do that, but haven’t had the guts yet to make the commitment. I would imagine that the impact I made from one month may carry forward into the year, but it could all get to be too overwhelming.

[...] and Asha suggested that smaller daily goals and smallish weekly goals are another way to look at the resolution tradition. I like this idea, [...]

Daily goals sound so good but really daunting to me. Things change so frequently I wonder if I’d feel disappointed falling down at the first hurdle. However I would try small goals for the kiddos like, ” Will try a messy play activity this week, or remind them to play outside for at least 10 mins” . For me I might get those done. lol.

YAY! You are awesome. You know, I just tossed that off the top of my head. I’ve never been the best goal-setter — I’m much more day-to-day — so it just feels a lot more doable. I say everyone shares their goals on Twitter so we can all cheer each other on.

I love this idea. Smaller goals seem so much more manageable and realistic. A goal per day is a little much for me right now, but I love the 101 things in 1000 days idea. I have been working on my list for about a week, but maybe finishing it would be a good way to spend the first day of 2009.

Thanks for the great ideas!

I like to believe I could do this… It sounds amazing. I’m worried I’d set stupid, little goals just to say I did them. Like, make it out of bed or change baby diapers.

Maybe if I search deeper than I am, I could come up with something more… inspirational.
