There's something about the New Year hype that may create pressure on people to set goals for the year ahead by January 1st at the earliest, possibly January 2nd by the latest and start working on them by January 3rd, at the very least. It's unrealistic and unnecessary and is to be avoided. A less pressured approach to determining what you may want to achieve in the year ahead is to spend time resting and relaxing to give your brain and body a necessary break from thinking and doing. Then, spend as much time as needed to reflect on the year past and see what worked well or less well for you during that time; then, and only then, begin to think about what you may want for the year ahead; and then, jot down your findings. The process, to work well, needs quality time and a clear headspace. It does not need to be rushed and forced.
