When setting goals or resolutions for 2026, consider using a structured approach like the one highlighted in top WSO threads. Here's a two-step framework to get started:
Set the Vision:
Take a moment to visualize your ideal year. Imagine the actions you'll take, the results you'll achieve, and how this year will set the foundation for your future. Extend this vision beyond 2026—think 2, 5, or even 10 years ahead. Feel the excitement and motivation this brings.
Choose Five Categories of Goals:
Break your goals into five key categories that resonate with your priorities. For example:
Once you've identified these categories, break each goal into actionable steps to ensure progress throughout the year.
Get lean with some visible abs. No speeding or parking tickets. Be kinder to everyone even when they are being dickheads.
