    Like millions of people around the world, I used to spend every December making a New Year’s resolution or two. However, by February, like clockwork, exactly ______ would be achieved.

When I was younger, this didn’t ______ me all that much. But in my 20s I realized that trying to keep a ______ New Year’s resolution was like writing a novel or climbing a mountain — it just wasn’t achievable.

So, ______ focusing on one large thing and giving up when I didn’t succeed, I decided to make a ________ of little things I wanted to work on during the year. So far this has ______ things like keeping my house a little bit ______, spending more time with my dog and even dropping a few pounds. My _________ has been to focus on taking small steps every day.

I’m now making ______ toward those goals without feeling ______ pressured or disappointed that I haven’t done more. Simple upgrades like wiping down my bathroom sink every day after ______ my makeup (化妆品) have become second ______ to me. While losing weight, I focus on cutting just a pound at a time.

I don’t even ______ these New Year’s resolutions, and that helps to make my small goals feel more achievable. They’re just little goals I’ve set to be happier and healthier over time. I also ________ myself once in a while along the way. For example, I ______ myself a new pair of sneakers when I ran three weeks out of the month. And then there’s the free time I naturally have in tidying the bathroom sink every day, which takes less time than a deep ______ on a Sunday.

If keeping your New Year’s resolution is harder than you thought, the ______ to success might be giving up the idea of resolutions ______. Instead, ______ your goals into small milestones you can easily reach daily or weekly—and enjoy the ______ feeling of meeting each and every mini goal.
