New Years Resolutions typically don’t stick.
We’ve all heard the boasts and claims of our friends and loved ones – declaring what they are going to be doing THIS YEAR. How many of them actually succeed?
I can’t remember a time when I stuck with a “New Years Resolution.” I can’t remember a time any of my friends stuck with their “New Years Resolution” either. Can you?
Daily Action Habits
The best way to create a new habit or incorporate a new lifestyle is to repeat it every day.
Daily Action Habits get you to where you want to go. I started implementing them in 2008. I simply created an Excel Worksheet of the things I wanted to start incorporating into my life on a daily basis.
BOOM. Daily Action Habits checklist was born!!!
In the beginning, the list had two months per page. Over the years this list has morphed and changed based on my personal growth, interests, and upcoming goals and lifestyle changes. Now the list is one full page.

I love your list! I don’t make resolutions, either. But I do choose how I want to feel, and how I can support that, so I can see how a self-care or good actions list could be helpful.
Thanks Jeanine! I find the list keeps me focused and on track, even if I miss days.
I enjoyed reading your post and I did the same thing this week! I just quite my 9-5 job and working full time as a blogger. I definitely needed a daily, weekly, and monthly to do sheet or chart. I had a basic idea of what things I want to achieve, but it’s better to write it down. Things for sharing this post and good luck to you this year! Happy 2019.
Awesome! And Congratulations on quitting your 9-5, that must feel AMAZING!!! What a way to bring in 2019 – good for you!!! Roar!!!
Thanks Jyll. ROAR lol
This is such a great idea! I do a vision board every year. This seem more detail! Love it
Great!! I don’t have access to magazines here in Belize so I draw my own Vision Board, mostly using Words. It’s fun and works.
