2024 New Years Resolutions

This year I have 4 New Year resolutions. You might be like “Emma New Year’s Resolutions are a thing of the past. They never work out.” Well, this is the year they will work out. I have made a plan, a plan that makes my goals achievable.

Here are my 4 resolutions

1. Save $5,000 for my Roth IRA

2. Workout 4x a week

3. Read 12 books

4. Read my Bible every day

Here is how I planned it out:

Instead of jumping into working out 4x a week from working out 0x a week, I am going to build it up. In January I will work out 1x a week and build my way to 4x a week in April and stay on pace with that until the end of the year.

Instead of dividing 5000 by 12, I decided to choose numbers that went best with my year. I have a lot of birthdays at the end of the year, and all of the holidays are gathered at the end of the year. I knew I would be making more money in the summer versus when I was in school so I chose to save more money at the beginning of the year and during my summer break.

I haven’t read a book in 4 years, embarrassing I know, so I decided to read 1 book per month which I think is pretty reasonable.

I have been off and on reading my bible and I wanted to prioritize it this year.

I believe these 4 goals will set up 2024 in the direction of my future goals. I have learned any step is better than none and setting my goals in ways I will be able to achieve them brings much more peace than previous New Year’s goals.

2024 is the year of achieving our goals. I hope you set goals for yourself and get to check them off too :)
