Making a resolution may not be the best way to make changes in your life or business. A resolution is a decision to make a change that has no end in sight. A goal, on the other hand, has a finite start and end, and something specific you want to achieve in between. It’s much more effective to set SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-based) goals. 
 
Follow these techniques every day to help you achieve your goals:

Focus on three key tasks a day: list your top priorities for the day and accomplish them.

Block time to do deep work: allocate time for your big goals and fit everything else around them.

Eliminate distractions: for example, lock the door or turn off your devices.

Evaluate your day: did you accomplish your key tasks? What do you need to eliminate or improve on?
