Planning for the month ahead is enough for me

It is that time of year when many are drawing up changes and plans for the year ahead. A new year brings the opportunity to start over and improve again.

Individually, I’m just planning for the month ahead. Planning to work towards goals for the year is too big a step for me and one I usually fail on. Sure, I’ll list what I would like to do in the new year, but these are not resolutions that I must complete. They’re more like things I would like to do, and that’s enough for me.

Planning a month at a time means I can adapt over the year and change tracks if needed. If things aren’t working out, I can switch up my plan for the month ahead. No big commitment means that I can stay flexible.
