Episode Summary
Monet and I wrap up the first quarter of 2020 with a discussion of how to keep up with one’s resolutions.  This episode was recorded just before the COVID-19 pandemic reached the Bay Area which prompted a statewide shelter in place order.  Now more than ever we need to spend time evaluating ourselves and planning how we can adapt to get back on track with our goals.
We open up our conversation of new year’s resolutions with an interesting statistic from a small verbal survey that Monet conducted with colleagues.  The ratio of individuals keeping to their resolutions versus letting them go astray was not unexpected. Everyone needs a bit of a reminder from time to time and using an accountability buddy (or accountabilibuddy if you like long words) is an easy way to stay focused on the end result.  Monet and I both need our own reminders, as Monet had his blog post about sticking with resolutions stuck in draft form for weeks until I called him to come record this latest episode.
Aside from seeking friends with accountability benefits, Monet developed a 6-step system that can be followed to stay on top of all our various goals.
Define your personal values before goals.
Write down your values.
Make SMART goals.Specific
Measurable
Attainable
Relevant
Timebound
Be courageous.Courage can be generated within.
Courage can come from the support of others in your life.
Self-monitor actions and goals.
Be adaptable.
Monet reminds us that we are ultimately responsible for our accomplishments with an excerpt from Peter Dale Wimbrow Sr.’s poem, The Guy in the Glass.
You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years
And get pats on the back as you pass
But your final reward will be heartache and tears
If you’ve cheated the man in the glass.
 
“That might be the difference between sticking to your goals … how rooted in your values they are.”
