ehow Series: How to Start the New Year Right.

Natural law dictates that, at the end of every activity, one needs to reflect on the things that went well and the wrong. Thus the good and the ugly.

Even in the domestic art of farming, after tilling the land; cultivation of food; one crowns it all with harvesting of the farm products.

How did the last year go for you? Was it worth remembering for you?

In this piece, I'm going to share with you some basic tips that have worked for me all year round.

What are your new year resolutions? Are your new year resolutions many?


Tips for daily living;


Tips 1: Make a list of your new year resolutions.

You have to make a personal effort to prepare a new year resolution and paste it at a place that you are likely to see it first thing in the morning and in the evening when you are about to sleep. They call it the "law of attraction". As often as you see your resolutions, you begin to internalize them hence they running through. This worked for me. To tell you what, if not at all, out of my ten (10) last year resolutions, eight (8) of them run through. Now that is the spirit.

Cultivate this habit and you'll be surprised of its dividends.

Tips 2: Learn to Keep a Diary.

The art of diary keeping is phenomenal. Not only will you track your days activities, you'll also have the opportunity to cut out unproductive activities in your life.

I learned to keep a diary two (2) years ago. In fact, my diaries for these two years contain everything there's to know about my daily activities in the course of the years. I made it a personal responsibility to update my day's activities in the dairy before going to bed. I also enter in my dairy the rounds and activities I'll be doing the following day.


Tips 3: Make a to-do-list.

In fact, you must take charge of your day's activities. You don't have to wake up the following morning before you think about what to do in the day. This is ugly. Where to go, what to do and who to call must all be planned ahead of time. I agree there will be some emergencies that require outright decisions yet it does not flaw the need for a to-do-list based on priorities. Try it out it's good for you.



Tips 4: Make every effort to work out your resolutions.

Success is worked for. Every achievement in the world was as a result of hard efforts on the part of those individuals who are hailed across the world today. You also have to sweat and sometimes shed tears to achieve your personal visions, missions and dreams.

I believe in you and you must believe in God for wonders.

The above ehow are personal tips that have worked for me. Take them seriously and success will be yours.

See you in the course of the year.
