Stick to Your Decisions, Making Them 90 Days at a Time
Instead of setting a solution for the whole new year, set short-term goals for 90 days. These snippets make larger goals more manageable, and if you fail, you can try again or reevaluate the goal in a shorter amount of time .
On the one hand, setting the permission to 90 days means the end is visible from the beginning. Being able to see the finish line can be reassuring and make the task less daunting.
Plus, if you make a decision all year long and then fail, it’s easy to just wait until next year to try again. The 90-day goal means that even if you fail the decision early on, you can muster your strength, dust off, and land another blow.
