The past few years have been tough for everyone, especially for those who just started \u201cadulting\u201d<\/a>, and I think we are all ready to put it behind us with high hopes for 2024. But what are you going to do differently during this upcoming year to really improve yourself in every area of your life?<\/p>\n

In this article, we will look at 23 goal ideas that you can set for a better 2024 to give you some ideas of objectives you can set for yourself to make sure that you\u2019re heading in the direction that you ultimately want to go. <\/p>\n

But first, let\u2019s talk about why you should set SMART goals for 2024 and review what SMART goals entail.<\/p>\n

Why You Should Set SMART Goals for 2024<\/h2>\n

I was taken by surprise recently when I mentioned SMART goals in a meeting at work and several people didn\u2019t know what I was talking about.<\/p>\n

I thought that SMART goals<\/a> had become somewhat of a buzzword in the professional arena, and certainly something that everyone was at least kind of<\/em> familiar with. <\/p>\n

After implementing SMART goals into my own life, it\u2019s no wonder why people don\u2019t follow through with their goals.\u00a0 Without a sense of direction or accountability, goals are easily abandoned without a second thought.<\/p>\n

Therefore, it\u2019s not surprising that research shows<\/a> that 80% of new year\u2019s resolutions<\/a> are forgotten by February 15th. So if you\u2019re planning on losing weight, saving money, or learning a new skill, you better have a plan. (Check out these life planning apps.<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Without being specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, or time-bound, you have a lot of gray area to play around in (i.e. \u201cI\u2019ll splurge tonight on this ice cream sundae and start fresh tomorrow<\/em>\u201d or \u201cI\u2019ll just buy this one<\/em><\/a> new electronic\u201d), especially if you don’t have a doer personality<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re going to set goals in the new year, it is imperative to make them SMART goals<\/a> in order to see the results that you\u2019re looking for. Let\u2019s review exactly what that means.<\/p>\n
