How to use the New Year’s resolution wheel

  1. 1

    Spin the wheel as January approaches.

  2. 2

    Select a goal that excites you and break it down into weekly micro-habits.

Ways to use this wheel

  • New Year’s Eve Party Game: Have party guests spin for their secret resolution and share actionable plans.
  • Accountability Partner Match: Pair up with a friend who commits to supporting your spun goal.

Resolutions you can actually keep

Many resolutions fail because they are vague. The wheel offers specific goals such as reading twelve books in a year, walking 10,000 steps daily, cooking at home five nights a week or building a three-month emergency fund.

Spin, then adjust the goal to your life: pick a number that is slightly challenging but realistic. Write it down and tell someone who will check in with you.

Making it stick

Start small and track progress weekly. Break the goal into steps, and celebrate small wins. If you slip, restart the next day rather than waiting for next year. Add goals that matter to you, and remove ones that are not right for this year.
