A checklist of resolutions
- I will let things be: Home and office work lists should be made up of absolute essentials for the day (only do-able portions of work you need to complete in the long term get included). Learn to delegate.
- I will plan holidays: Take into account office and school breaks, destinations, bookings, money… Stick to your plan.
- I will organize health checks: Do it for all the family and for yourself – you are not the most unimportant person in your family!
- I will work at a better diet: But remember, there is such a thing as ‘taste’ so don’t get obsessive about your healthy eating either.
- I will cut down on drinking (and smoking): Plan on weekend drinking within limits; then take the abstinence period up by a few days. Stagger cigarettes in a practical manner to start off.
- I will not nag my partner: Get a life! Most women end up expecting their partners to be a mental twin – cultivate forgotten hobbies.
- I will be more patient with my children: Set aside days when you vow not to shout at them no matter what (unless absolutely necessary).
- I will plan my day: Do it the night before. Plan your children’s days if possible, but remember to reward them if they stick to it.
- I will pay more attention to my parents and my in-laws: Remember they brought you up – or him, in the latter case.
- I will not be bothered by gossip: Avoid bad-mouthing others. Learn to brush it aside if you hear something negative about yourself.
- I will reward myself: Go easy on yourself. Set periodic, do-able targets and reward yourself suitably thorugh the year when you fulfil your resolution fro the time frame – even if that be a fairly short one.
