Why I am not Making New Years Goals On New Years Day

If you haven’t noticed, I am a bit unconventional. I have thought a lot about this and to be perfectly honest, I am burnt out. I would hate to admit it but it is true. I don’t believe in timelines and I think it is pretty funny that as soon as the clock strikes midnight people have a list of resolutions for the new year. Since I am burnt out, I have already decided I am not making any big goals until February 1.
I will be headed to Paris for a quick trip at the end of January. This is a trip just for me. To clear my head, to refocus, and to photograph the city I love. I have a lot of ideas for 2018, but I have to be realistic. While part of my goals will be business related, I will also be focusing on personal goals and growth. I want to work on how to make myself a better person and in turn a better role model.
Goals that I am working on for 2018, SLEEP. Any and all ideas are welcome on how to get better sleep will be much appreciated. It isn’t my best skill which is why I am always caffeinated. My other goal that I am working on is having a better wake up routine and night routine, which ultimately means less technology. I have been reading a lot of articles on this and I can’t wait to come up with something that works with my schedule.
My morning/evening routine will lead to better sleep and I can be more productive in the long run. It will be a lifestyle change for sure but I am ready for the challenge. I do think I will have more reading time if I cut out phone time.
Do you make goals or resolutions? I prefer goals, I never want to beat myself up for the fact that I didn’t accomplish something I set out to do just because I didn’t succeed at the first attempt. I have 365 days to make an improvement on my starting point. What are your thoughts? Do you have goals for this New Year? No pressure, feel free to share them below so I can cheer you on or share them with a friend. I believe it is better to share your goals/dreams with at least one person so they can hold you accountable and support you. Whatever your goals are big or small, I wish you all the best in 2018.
