If you annually move promises to yourself like learning English and joining a fitness club to a new list, maybe it’s just not your thing? This doesn’t mean you need to let yourself go and give up on self-development. Most often, it’s enough to shift your focus to something inspiring: perhaps you enjoy going skating or swimming all year round. And study, for example, the history of cinema, not languages.

It is not enough to live in the clouds and hope for the best: positive changes in life should not be waited for, but planned. In order for the next year to be as productive and happy as possible, there are many things you can take care of today: for example, buy tickets for your dream trip in advance or calculate how much you need to save for your desired purchase.

New Year is a psychologically comfortable moment to start life from scratch. Whether it is a friendly or romantic relationship, you should not take with you into a new stage of life the baggage of past grievances and conflicts. Draw conclusions, mentally thank the offenders for the valuable experience and think about how to improve the relationships that are truly important to you.

On New Year’s Eve, some of the most generous sales of the year traditionally take place – this is a great opportunity not only to choose a spectacular look for a holiday party at an affordable price, but also to tidy up your wardrobe. Ruthlessly get rid of what you have not worn even once this year. Throw away worn-out and obsolete things, even those that have become home clothes. You will see – in anticipation of the new, your mood will immediately improve.

They say that the way you celebrate the New Year is the way you will spend it. Unfortunately, a fresh manicure and haircut will not last for 12 months, even if you manage to visit a specialist on December 31. And yet, it is important to think about a visit to a beauty specialist in advance: a couple of days before the holiday, the appointments may already be too tight. And after – a long weekend is coming: many beauty specialists, like representatives of other professions, use the holidays to rest. As a result, you risk getting to the specialist only in mid-January.

Money always works: if not for you, then against you. If you are faced with self-doubt and anxiety, try to start with financial security. When you do not need to constantly borrow until payday and monitor the day of payment of interest on credit cards – life becomes much calmer and more pleasant. Pay off debts for your own peace of mind – and your life will change for the better.

Most people are not committed to time management principles, which means they do not meticulously keep a to-do list and set priorities based on mood, not importance. As a result, a huge number of tasks can accumulate that we could do in 5 minutes, but we put off for months. To enter the New Year with a clear head, set aside time to close the maximum number of “stale” tasks for which there is never enough time.
