Why Your New Year’s Resolutions Failed (And How to Actually Fix Them)

Stop Relying on Motivation: Simple, Actionable Strategies to Move Your Goals from "Someday" to Done.

100 Tips to Achieve Your Goals

Let’s be real for a second.

How many times have you written down a massive goal—like "lose 20 pounds" or "start that side hustle"—feeling absolutely pumped, only to find yourself back on the couch two weeks later, wondering where the motivation went?

I’ve been there more times than I care to admit. The "February Slump" is real.

I realized recently that my problem wasn't that I didn't want it bad enough. My problem was that I didn't have a plan. I had a dream, but no map. That’s when I stumbled across a digital guide called "More Than 100 Tips to Achieve Your Goals."

I know, I know. The title sounds a bit generic. I was skeptical, too. I thought, "Do I really need another list of advice?"

But after reading through it, I realized this wasn't just fluff. It was the kick in the pants I actually needed. Here is my honest take on it.

It’s Not a Book, It’s a Toolbox

The first thing I loved about this is that it doesn’t waste time trying to be philosophical. It doesn't spend 50 pages explaining the "meaning of life."Instead, it reads like a tactical field manual.

Since there are over 100 tips, you don't have to read them front-to-back like a novel. I treated it like a buffet. I scrolled through, found the headings that applied to my current struggle (which is usually procrastination, let’s be honest), and applied them immediately.

The "Aha!" Moments

There were a few specific tips that really stuck with me and shifted my perspective:

1. The "Chunking" Method: 

I’m the type of person who looks at a big project and freezes up because it looks scary. This book breaks down the concept of "chunking"—taking a massive goal and slicing it into tiny, 15-minute tasks. It sounds simple, but hearing it explained this way finally got me to stop procrastinating on my website design.

2. The Accountability Mirror: 

There is a section about taking responsibility that is... well, it’s brutally honest. It forces you to look at why you aren't succeeding without blaming your boss, the economy, or the weather. It was a tough pill to swallow, but necessary.

3. Preparation is Everything: The book makes a great point: Most people fail because they don't define what "success" actually looks like. Vague goals get vague results.

The Downside (Because Nothing is Perfect)

I promised an honest review, so here is the catch: Do not try to do all 100 tips at once.

If you try to overhaul your entire life overnight using every single tip in this book, you will burn out in 3 days. Guaranteed. The sheer volume of advice can be overwhelming if you aren't careful.

My advice? Read through it, pick the Top 3 tips that resonate with you right now, and ignore the rest until you've mastered those.

Final Thoughts

If you are looking for a magic wand that will make you a millionaire or a fitness model while you sleep, this isn't it. You still have to do the work.

But, if you are tired of setting goals and never reaching them, "More Than 100 Tips to Achieve Your Goals" is a fantastic resource to keep on your phone or laptop. It’s like having a tough-love coach in your pocket whenever you feel lazy.

Rating: 4 out of 5 (Solid, practical, and effective).
