For most of us, January is our most ambitious month of the year.  Not everyone makes a formal resolution, but who doesn't want to be a better person?  January starts off great, you're studying your butt off, exercising, eating healthy and keeping everything in its place.  Towards the end of January, things are slacking a little...one month later you're back where you were in December.

When I decided mid-summer to change up my life, I used different techniques to stick to my goals...and they worked!

Tell the world
If no one knows what your resolutions are, no one knows when you break them.  And deny it all you want, but the opinions of friends and family matter.  Tell everyone what you're trying to do.  It will be sort of embarrassing if only a month later you're lazy again.  You can find support, encouragement, and maybe even a buddy to try with. 

Put it in front of your face
Give yourself constant reminders of what you want to do.  Write down your resolution: on your bulletin board, the refrigerator door, your planner or journal, you can even put post-it notes in random spots. 

Don't beat yourself up
Reward yourself if you're succeeding, but don't be too tough on yourself.  It's okay if you slip once or twice, as long as you make more steps forward than you do back.  As fabulous as you are, you're still human.

Don't let procrastination get the best of you
Break up your big resolution into a few smaller ones.  Make deadlines that will be easy to keep while accomplishing your goal(s).  Make out a timeline for yourself and try and stick to it. Smaller goals are also less intimidating than big ones.  But all the little ones will add up.

Keep track of yourself
Make sure to track your process.  With some goals, it's hard to see how much you've accomplished.  It can also be pretty encouraging to be able to have tangible evidence of all that you've done.

Distributed solar. That's Nike Air Max the way. Energy creation on site and excess energy pushing back to the grid.
