Creating a personal development plan means committing to nourishing your mind with new, empowering information on a consistent basis.

Take some time to think about all of last year’s experiences, and more importantly, hold on to all the lessons you learned from those experiences. Understand that everything that occurred last year was simply a result. Don’t get caught up in labeling those results as good or bad – as successes or as failures.

Tyler Basu

Learn from any mistakes you made and make a commitment not to repeat them. Learn from your successes but don’t let yourself get too complacent or overconfident. The actions that made you successful last year may not be the same actions you need to take this year. Be open to new approaches.

Tyler Basu

It’s hard to plan for the future when things from the past are still pulling at you. If you’re starting off the new year with unfinished projects from last year, you need to clear those projects from your plate as soon as possible. By getting rid of the old, you make room for the new.

Tyler Basu

Anything that is worth achieving is worth putting in writing. Make a list of the major goals that you’d like to achieve this year. Each of these goals should represent a significant milestone in the long term vision for your life. Once you have your goals in writing,put them in a place where you will see them everyday.

Exercise is not something you “have time for”. It is something you make time for. It is also the one thing that provides you with strength, energy, and vitality to be more effective in all the other areas of your life. Exercise is an investment in your health, your life, your longevity, and your productivity.

The people you know and work with have helped you get to where you are. To get to a new level, you will likely need to surround yourself with some new people. Make it a priority to cultivate new relationships with positive people both inside and outside of your industry.

Learn new skills. New goals require new actions, and new actions typically require new skills. Take a moment to identify some of the skills you would like to acquire this year, and begin looking for the people and resources that can help you acquire those skills.

Tyler Basu

Dissolve relationships that don't support your success. Understand that you become the average of the people you spend the most time with. If the attitudes, philosophies, and behaviours of the people around you are not aligned with those of the person you intend to become, you must begin dissolving those relationships.

Tyler Basu

Make balance a priority. If this next year is truly going to be your most successful year yet, then it must be successful in all the areas of your life. And remember that it’s not about the amount of time you give to each area, it’s about the quality of the time you give to each area.

Tyler Basu

To ensure you make this year your best year is to hold yourself accountable.Lack of accountability is one of the single greatest reasons for failure. If no one is holding us accountable for the consistent implementation of new habits or behaviors, we are more likely to fall back into our old patterns.

Tyler Basu

The secret to holding yourself accountable is to have a system. Without a system for tracking your daily and weekly activities, and then measuring those against the new standards you’ve set for yourself, failure is almost inevitable. What gets measured gets improved.

Tyler Basu

Start Taking Action. As you plan each day’s activities, ask yourself: What one thing can I do today that will move me in the direction of at least one of my goals? Taking small steps in the direction of your goals will result in huge gains over time.

Create a Breakthrough Goal for the Year. A well-formed goal is both powerful and measurable. Specifically, a goal must quantify something, and it must list a specific date for completion. Because a breakthrough goal has the power to transform your life, it also has the power to make this year your best year ever.

Jack Canfield

Don’t think about making the coming year your best year ever. Just do it. You might not even notice that it is your best year yet until the end of the year.

Marc Reklau

Take a minute to reflect on the past year for yourself. Then give it a bow of gratitude, and say goodbye.

Pretty much, the writer's in charge in theater. Of course you're in charge with the director, but no one can change your words. People can give you notes, but you don't have to take them. In Hollywood you take them and you cash your check and that's your job. It's very different.
