Goal Setting for the New Year
Goal setting is the only way to track your accomplishments and set up a game plan. Where do you want to go? Who do you want to become?
Is this the year you will ride a horse for the first time or snow ski? Set a goal to do something wonderful in the new year! Writing the goal and making a plan gives you a head start!
And remember to teach your children to set goals also!

Gather Your Goal Setting Supplies
Plan your goal setting time!
Grab a notebook and a pen, of course.Add a few of your favorite magazines.
Don't forget magic markers and highlighters.
Create a list of questions to answer like - Where would I like to be next December when I sit down to do my goals again?
Goal Setting is Fun!
Set aside a special time for this project - so that you do not feel rushed and can enjoy!
Pop some popcorn or make a pot of coffee. Treat yourself!

ElizabethJeanAllen says:
I set goals and make resolutions. Goals, if I really want it, I can and will do. Resolutions are another story. I make them but I rarely reach them. This year I'm not making any resolutions but I'm setting several goals.

I take stock twice a year; at the New Year and my birthday (in June), then I decide what changes I need to make in my life to accomplish my goals and dreams.

Make Resolutions
Margo_Arrowsmith says:
Oh, yes, but I will do them as affirmations, not what I will (or won't) do, but rather what I have done! That works for both goals and resolutions.

I think more people will learn how to not only keep their goals going longer but be more budget wise in the process - I know I sure will !!!
wordstock, at 4pm on December 29, 2010 predicts:
More and more people will learn what it's like to live without and learn that life might actually be better. That's what we've learned.
KokoTravel, at 6pm on December 27, 2010 predicts:
I predict that more physical stores will close, unfortunately, as we all realize that the material things that once drove us are really quite unimportant. Our wants will diminish and our needs will become more obvious.
ElizabethJeanAllen, at 4am on December 19, 2010 predicts:
People are starting to realize the dangers of living beyond their means. Many have and are setting new budgets and making an honest effort to stay within them
OhMe, at 12pm on December 9, 2008 predicts:
I think people are so concerned about the economy and realize that their lifestyle is going to have to change so they will set effective goals for the upcoming year.

- I do both. I tend to be sparing with resolutions and flexible with goals!

- I'm setting goals. Some have to do with writing and Squidoo, others are of a more personal level.
Have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year.
