076: Reflecting On 2023 & Setting Goals For 2024

The Better Man Podcast

The statistics around New Year’s Resolutions are startling:

23% of people give up on their New Year’s Resolution by the end of the first week. By the end of January, 43% of people had already quit on their resolutions. And only 9% of people actually complete their resolutions by the end of the year.

Why?

Well, most people don’t understand how to properly reflect on the past year and set realistic, yet challenging goals for 2024. Even I have fallen into this trap in previous years, which is why I wanted to record this episode.

In today’s show, you’ll discover…

• How to enter the 9% of people who actually accomplish all their 2024 goals
• Why juggling too many new habits at once leads to burnout (and what to do instead to accomplish a variety of personal and professional goals
• And I reveal some of the questions I ask myself to best reflect on 2023 and prioritize my goals for 2024

Other highlights from this show include:

• Why doing a yoga session before setting your 2024 goals actually makes you more likely to achieve them (1:58)
• How to reflect on 2023 and prepare for 2024 to make it your best year yet—with only a single piece of paper and a pen (2:24)
• Why only setting outcome-based goals leaves you feeling unaccomplished and burnt out at year’s end (and what to do instead to crush all your 2024 goals) (6:10)
• How to best prioritize your 2024 goals (14:16)
• The “Longer Timeline” habit-building secret that guarantees you hit more goals in 2024 than you did in 2023 (14:40)
