Living the spooky life 365 days of the year is amazingly fulfilling, but it does require a lot of work. Every year I challenge myself to grow and strive towards my ideal Halloween lifestyle. I am actually pretty good at achieving most of the things I set out to do every year (except, apparently, staying on top of blog posts). How do I do this? Is it perhaps some innate magical power? Am I a witch? Quite possibly so. Still, there are some ways to craft new year’s resolutions to make one more likely to achieve them:
1. Make Your Goals Quantifiable (i.e. “Carve 5 Pumpkins”, not just “Carve More Pumpkins”)
2. Make Your Goals Realistic (i.e. “Read 12 Spell Books”, not “Read 120 Spell Books” – unless of course that fits your lifestyle, then way to go!)
3. Keep Yourself Accountable (i.e. Track your progress, ask friends to check in on your goals, broadcast your resolutions on your blog so you would feel very embarrassed if you slack off)
Keeping those guidelines in mind, you can set yourself up to achieve all the ghastly goals you strive towards!
