And remember...

The more specific and more measurable your goals, the easier it will be to tell when you reach them.

And also...

Don't wait for this time next year to sit back and look at your list and see how you did. Post your goals where you, and everyone else, can see them.

Measure how you are doing against your goals, and adjust as necessary. Do this at all the measurement points you built into the plan (monthly, quarterly, whatever intervals you selected).

That way, when this time next year does get here you can sit back and reflect again. Rejoice in your successes. Learn from your misses. And then set tougher goals for the following year.
