Summary

The website content discusses the concept of New Year's resolutions, suggesting that individuals may prefer either a structured SMART plan or a guiding principle, such as a word or color, to inspire their goals for the year.

Abstract

The webpage presents a reflective approach to New Year's resolutions, acknowledging the diversity in how people set and achieve their goals. It distinguishes between two methods: the SMART plan, which is specific, measurable, actionable, relevant, and time-based, and a more abstract approach that uses a guiding principle, such as a chosen word or color, to motivate change and growth. The article encourages self-awareness, asking readers to consider which method aligns with their personal style. Additionally, it invites participation in a poetry prompt on the topic and provides instructions on how to join and submit writings to "The Brain is a Noodle" publication on Medium.

the complexity of new year’s resolutions is that some need a clear structure, to plan the speciifc, measurable, actionable, relevant and timebased goal

yet others do better when not caged in by clear-cut rules instead spurring into action given a simple guiding rule, colour, or superpower in mind.

Lucy (The Eggcademic) [she/her] needs a SMART goal, and a set routine to check in on the goal regularly, which is why her daily morning pages became such an important habit to build. Once she built that one habit, it became the foundation for building other habits and circling back to reflect and make things work. She also knows people who just … set a word, like “intention” or “strength” and then run with it for the whole year and see amazing growth and success. It all comes down to tailoring it for you!
