Seriously - I saved the most important for the middle of this series, people! If you don't listen to any other episodes, this is definitely the one you want to listen in on for the new year.

Today, I share my own goal writing process for each new year. Of course, you want your own goals to be SMART - Here's a pretty way to visualize them: https://www.indeed.com/career-advice/career-development/how-to-write-smart-goals.

If you've never written down your goals for a new year - let's challenge you to think about this year being THE YEAR you start in 2022.

Hello my lovelies! Here's one of my all-time favorite tips for the Hunt for Happiness Week this week - GREAT BOOKS to read!

1. You have to use Google Chrome for this tip and use Amazon.com.

2. If you use Chrome, download the Library Extension in Google Chrome Web Store: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/library-extension/chkgcmmjoejpekoegkedcpifgfhpjmec

3. Once you download it - go into it and put your local libraries.

4. Then search for new books to read on Amazon - the library extension should pop up on each book's page with where you can get it - WITH YOUR LIBRARY CARD, for free! Yippie!

5. Note that it also appears to work in Goodreads, B&N and Google Books too.

Hoping you're not overwhelmed yet - no no. Can't have that!

But if you haven't completed the other suggestions - NO WORRIES. Not here to overwhelm. Just here to present you with different new year's approaches.

Here's another simple one:

What do you want to start, stop and keep doing in the new year?

Get a piece of paper, landscape it.

Write Start, Stop and Keep at the top in 1/3s

List out literally what you want to START doing in the new year, STOP doing in the new year, and KEEP in the new year.
