There is a difference between a resolution and a goal. Everyone makes resolutions, and they don't mean anything. Why? Here's the definition of resolution:
The first word is "intention," and that is not a set goal. It's simply the intent to do something. Intent, aim, plan, and a decision don't include ACTION. You can make all the plans and decisions you want, but they aren't full of movement. They will sit there like a lead balloon.
- a firm decision to do or not to do something.intent, plan, aim, and decision
the action of solving a problem, dispute, or contentious matter.
"the peaceful resolution of all disputes"

Here's the definition for a goal:
"A result or achievement toward which effort is directed; aim; end."
Set goals. They require more than a plan. You have to carry them out, or there is no use setting them in the first place. There is a beginning and an end.
My goal for this year is to lose 100 pounds. It's just less than 10 pounds per month, and I know I can do it - if I exercise a lot. My goal is to exercise 3-5 days per week. If I maintain the exercise, the pounds will drop. I don't "plan" to put into action; I am going to do it.
You set goals every single day. You always have a "To Do" list. Put yourself on it first.
