Keep Your New Year’s Resolutions

Tuesday, January 5, 2010

It’s a new year now, so surely you have some New Year’s resolutions for 2010, right? But do you remember what your resolutions were last year?  Do you remember how close you came to achieving them before you lost interest? Nah, me neither.

If you actually want to have a snowball’s chance in hell to keep your resolutions this year, you need to write down your resolutions, and you need a way to track your progress. ZeaLOG lets you record your goals and track your progress. Just create a log, decide how you want to track your progress, and start entering in what you do to move toward your goal.

Over time, ZeaLOG will automatically create spiffy graphs that show how quickly you are moving forward…or not.

ZeaLOG also makes working toward your goals social. Other people can see your Zealogs, unless you keep them private, and if they share your goals, they can even join you. Nothing like a little bit of healthy competition to keep you motivated, right?

One thing to remember to make ZeaLOG more useful is that you need to take some time to think about what your goals are and how you want to measure them. You may find that you need to create more than one Zealog to track your goal. For example, I’d like to get back in better shape, so my New Year’s resolution is to spend less time in front of the computer, and more time doing stuff that burns calories.

But, should I track the hours I spend exercising? Track how many pounds I lose, or inches? All of the above? I’m going to have to have to think about it…
