Often New Year's resolutions involve modifying behaviors in ways that are supposed to positively impact our lives: eating healthier, exercising more, sticking to our budget, spending more time with family, etc. We are advised to set "SMART" goals: ones that are Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Time-Bound.
