I used to really struggle to decide how I wanted to keep track of my goals. I have tried journaling, the Notes app, texting friends, post it notes on the mirror… at the end of the day I am simply holding on to the intention rather than the method. New Years goals have always had a grip over me. Please see below as its listed in my journal:
