We just bade goodbye to the old year and celebrated the coming of a new year. Most of us are looking forward to a better year, but the question is, what can we do to make the new year better than the last?

 

“Who we are today is a product of our choices yesterday, and if we do not like our present standing, we must change our choices and actions today, to expect a better tomorrow.”

ASKSonnie’s REFLECTION FORM 1: If you set a goal last year.

ASKSonnie’s REFLECTION FORM 2: If no goals were set last year

After assessment, the next step is to carry over unfinished goals from last year (if there is any), and calibrate the strategies and action plan. If this is your first time to do this, then skip above and just write down your goals. The form below should help.

 

ASKSonnie’s ACTION PLAN FORM:

 

If you have gone thru the process, it’ll give you a clear overview of the causes and effects of your past years’ victories and defeats. From there, you can plan for corrective actions and/or set new goals and strategies for the new year.

You must understand though, that a best assessment and plan can be worthless if a person doesn’t have the required discipline to carry out the plans consistently.

 

Happy new year everyone!
