The right time for a new start
New years are considered a good time to make resolutions, often about self-improvement goals for the year. We’re told that, among other things, our goals need to be reasonable, measurable, and attainable. Even rewardable. Maybe someone wants to “lose 20 pounds”. It needs better focus. “I want to lose 20 pounds by September 1, 2022, by walking one mile, five times a week (with your doctor’s approval). I will refuse seconds on deserts during that time.” That’s better. (Then there can be specific rewards when you’ve reached your goal.)
