Resolutions, or declarations, without specific, attainable goals AND action steps to achieve them, create a recipe for frustration and personal disappointment.
That said, the approaching New Year is a good time to take a personal inventory of how your lifestyle measures up in terms of work/life balance. Are the critical elements of your life in balance today? Make a list of what matters to you in your life. Include key elements such as: Work/Career, Friendships, Family Life, Spirituality, Leisure Time & Pursuits, Community, Personal Growth/Education, and Health & Fitness. On a scale of 1 to 10, how satisfied are you with each of these areas? Are you making time for all of the elements of your life that are important to you?
Ask yourself questions such as:
