Melody Beattie Quote on New Year Resolutions and What My Goals Are For 2021

“The new year stands before us, like a chapter in a book, waiting to be written. We can help write that story by setting goals.”

Melody Beattie

Beyond the Quote (Day 369)

My goals for 2021:

1) On writing: Continue to write daily, but be more concise and deliberate in what I write. I’m limiting myself to a max of 3 paragraphs per reflection.

2) On productivity: In 2020 I was working from the second I woke up until the second I went to bed—it was too much. My goal this year is to add in more structured down time—time to relax, recharge, and not do anything. I suspect that it will exponential help my productivity for when I do work.

3) On time management: Because I was always working so late at night, I would go to bed late, which would cause me to wake up late, and repeat the cycle the next day of feeling like I was always behind. This year, my goal is to be in bed by 11pm and up by 7am. I want to feel ahead of my days, not behind.

What are your goals for 2021?

NEW In The Shop: Don’t Let The Tame Ones Tell You How To Live [Poster]

Why We ♥ It: Some of the best advice I (Matt here) ever got was: don’t take life advice from people who aren’t living a life you want to live and don’t take criticism from people you wouldn’t go to for advice. I created this poster to act as a reminder to listen more closely to our role models and less closely to our critics, trolls, and tamed-comfort-zone-hugger acquaintances. It’s also a perfect gift for the outdoor adventurer, travel enthusiast, or solo explorer (or soon to be). Available in print or digital download. 👇🏼
