And make it a real resolution — something both measurable and achievable.</p> <h2 id="cannot-measure-vs-can-measure">Cannot Measure vs Can Measure</h2> <p>You <strong>cannot</strong> measure success against “losing weight”, “eating healthier”, “drinking less”, “liking your job”, &ldquo;being a better friend&rdquo;, etc. You <strong>can</strong> measure “lose 5 pounds”, “don’t eat processed foods”, “no more than 3 drinks a week”, “apply to three jobs a week”, &ldquo;call someone you haven&rsquo;t talked to in 3 months each week&rdquo; etc. If you cannot measure your goal you cannot know if you are achieving your goal — i.e., it will be just a crap shoot hoping for the outcome you desire.</p>
