My Resolution is an easy to use program that can help you organize your goals. It's divided into four main sections: Goals, Quotes, Vows, and Techniques. These are shown in Figure A.

My Resolutions has four sections to help you set and achieve your goals.

Quotes
The Quotes feature allows you to write inspirational quotes into your device. From the main menu, just tap on Quotes. In Figure B, you can see that I chose to use a quote from Aldous Huxley.

FIGURE B

I found this quote from Aldous Huxley to be inspirational.

If you tap on the detail button in the lower right hand corner, you'll see a space to write what you take away from that quote, why it inspires you, or any notes about that quote that you'd like to remember. This is shown in Figure C.

My interpretation helps me remember why this quote means so much to me.

Goals
Goals are separated into short-term goals and long-term goals. I like to separate my goals into short term and long-term goals because doing so helps me remain focused on achieving the goals.

Make sure your goal is very specific. Make sure it's clear and specific enough that when you attain it, you'll be able to have the sense of satisfaction that comes from reaching a definite completion. Be sure to set a deadline for the goal, as well. Give yourself the gift of tangibility in the goal you set. Make the picture of it very real in your mind. A goal set in this way might look like: "I will own my own home in a neighborhood where I feel a sense of community. I will be living there by this time next year so I can throw a New Year's Eve party there for my friends."

It's important to break down a really big long-term goal into several short-term goals, so you don't feel overwhelmed. Let's continue to use the house example. That's a pretty big goal.

Ask yourself what steps you need to take in order to buy that house. Do you need to decide what neighborhood you want to live in? Researching neighborhoods might be a short-term goal for the first month. You could do research online and narrow it down to a handful of neighborhoods. Then, spend an hour every Saturday morning walking around getting a feel for the areas you're interested in. This has the added benefit of meeting your exercise goals as well, because you'll be doing your cardiovascular workout (walking) at the same time.
