Are you thinking about making a New Year Resolution, fulfilling a dream, or achieving a goal$%: One very important ingredient for success is a 'Daily Resolution Diary': get in the habit of brainstorming, drafting your plan, maintaining timelines, charting your progress, and making course corrections with pen and paper, on a blog, on your computer, in a leather journal, or whatever way works best for you. You don't have to be a great American novelist. You don't have to write page after page, hour after hour. You don't have to spend a lot of money on your Daily Resolution Diary, but you do have to 'do it'. If you can't 'check-in' every single day, then try to connect with your diary every few days, or at least once each week. Writing things down is important if you want to make steady progress.
It's amazing how fast time flies, how much each one us us has to think about and absorb in any given day. With that in mind, don't try to do these 'Check-In's' once each month! Too much time passes. If you're moving forward with your resolution there will be many tasks and milestones in a month's time - too many to realistically gauge how you're truly doing, or whether or not your plan is working! It's easier to make a quick course correction when you're paying close attention to the details, on paper, every few days rather than once a month, or every couple weeks.
