A lot of mine are quite variable and I haven’t been able to produce measurable end-points.

However, in a couple of places (and specifically my financial goals) I’ve given myself exactly these types of goals: a number or percentage that I can measure against. I wouldn’t have done this in the past but we have to do this every six months in work and it’s a learned behaviour.

As for dedicating this improved vigour to every day of the year: it’s a great goal that I’ve never even thought of. How is one going to go about doing this though? For me the urge to change lasts around a month, so reviewing and modifying these goals at the beginning of every month could work – a personal reward system could be worth it too…

I want to travel more: so allot time to travel in April, August and December but only if in the three months previous I’ve attained my financial goals? Buy myself a gadget or film if I’ve maintained a healthy and local diet that month? If I’ve progressed in work, take a long weekend every two months?

That got me thinking!

Also, I’d like to give the same renewing energy to each month, week, or day rather than just once a year. “Happy March 1st! What are your schmesolutions for March?”
