  • Lose 20 Pounds: After gorging on holiday treats, losing weight might be the only thing we can think about right now. But putting a number on weight loss is too big and broad a goal. A better plan would be to lay out specific daily steps to get healthier, instead of playing the numbers game.
  • Get Out of Debt: This kind of goal can be daunting and too broad. A better goal would be to eat out less or to pledge to sock away a certain amount of money from every paycheck.
  • Get Organized: Again, too broad. Try a goal like vowing to get rid of three different pieces of clothing each night until your closet it is uncluttered.
  • Be a Better Person: What exactly do you mean by this? Do you want to volunteer at a charity a few times a month this year? Whatever it is, make it specific and follow through.
