Get SMART about crafting a New Year’s resolution for yourself, GoSkills says: Specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-sensitive goals are proven to be more realistic and therefore easier to keep. Furthermore, if you write down your goal or goals, they will be simpler to remember and track. You may also choose to share your resolution with a friend to lend a sense of accountability — or seek out a group of people who have similar goals to support your efforts and cheer your successes.
