2024 has just begun and here are some things residents plan on changing this new year.

While it’s typical for people to pledge to cut pounds in the new year, people like Philane Sargent want to strengthen their spiritual connection.

Roshara Hepburn has similar goals but also wants to work on time and money management.

Shantia McPhee Simon’s New Year’s goals also centre on personal finance, and she’s looking to make more memories with loved ones.

And Pastor Tavaris Adderley has similar targets.

While Jacob Hooiveld, a visitor from New York, has a much simpler outlook.

Students like Alyssa Simms are also setting their agendas for the new year. Simms is setting her sights on academics and health, among other things.

And Amiyah Charles wants to focus on personal development.

Angelina Turnquest’s goals are all about gaining new knowledge and skills.

Make your goals specific, make sure you measure your progress, make sure the goal is achievable and not too unattainable, make your goal relevant to your current situation, and set dates to keep yourself accountable.

Setting a date for your goal and making sure you can accomplish all the steps helps ensure that your objectives are attainable within a specific time frame because “A goal without a date is just a dream.”

Best of luck with your resolutions this year.
