Have you ever wondered why some people choose to create New Year’s resolutions? Here are are some reasons why people renew their goals and intentions before the year starts:

Transparency 

Some people aim to set new year’s resolutions in order to come to terms with themselves. It helps people reassess where they are at in life and what areas they can improve on. Through this, individuals become more honest and transparent regarding their goals.

Accountability

This helps them stay on track with their goals, and helps them explore other aspirations they could possibly have. It keeps them inspired and accountable.

Regardless of the reason for creating new goals and finding what works, there are a couple of resolutions you might want to consider and carry into your work life. In this article, we will be giving you some new year’s resolutions that could help you when it comes to your career.

Resolution #1: Take the stairs when traveling to meetings or to your office space

Resolution #2: Read more books about career advice

Everyone knows that learning never stops. Try to set a goal for yourself to read a number of books for the year. Maybe even try to keep the books genre more career-oriented. Read up on books that focus on improving your work ethic and books that give you job advice. 

Resolution #3: Make more connections in your field
