Kamutula,

Thanks for trying to help us become SMART(ER)!

Re shifting our goal setting calendar to our birthday instead, I have no difficulty with that, and I am sure many of us do some introspection around that time. However, due to the cultural and societal significance of the New Year, I do find that we still tend to look at the New Year as an opportunity to wipe the slate clean, and start anew.

So, perhaps what we can choose to do is top use our birthday and New Year’s Day as key checkpoints in our goal management calendar, where we set out our goals for the year either on our birthday or on New Year’s Day, and use the other date to double check or reaffirm our commitment to the goals we have made…

Probably also we can consider shifting the goal-setting calendar from the New Year to one’s birthday. Birthday is more personal and an opportune time for introspection. This is more so when one is at that turning point when they are adding a 0 to their age. That’s the time to begin dusting off and re-evaluating these new tools technology has given us.
