I am a goal-setter by nature, but this New Year\u2019s Eve left me feeling a little overwhelmed with the amount of goals on my list.<\/p>\n<p>This past year has brought incredible change for my family, between the marriage of my oldest daughter, Jackie, moving my parents up to live in Bethlehem and now moving my daughter, Kelsey, down to Nashville for her new job, I haven\u2019t had much time to focus on myself. So my resolutions for 2017 have a central theme: refocus, reorganize and revitalize!<\/p>\n<p>My first attempt at writing my resolutions looked something like this: 1. Drink more water 2. Get more sleep 3. Eat Better 4. Work out more 5. Make more time for charitable causes 6. Organize my office<\/p>\n<p>Sounds fine, right? Admirable and attainable, but very off-the-shelf. I wondered how I could improve my goal-setting process to make 2017 my best year yet. Kelsey and I had many hours in the car to talk about our resolutions and how to make them happen, and we came up with some tips for making the best out of the New Year\u2019s resolution process&#8230; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bailiwickdesign.com\/blog\/2017\/1\/2\/combatting-the-common-causes-of-failed-new-years-resolutions\" target=\"_blank\">click here to read Carrie and Kelsey&#8217;s\u00a0\u00a0tips for setting up your New Year&#8217;s resolution\u00a0 and more articles at www.bailiwickinteriordesign.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>About Carrie,<\/strong><u><\/u><u><\/u><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>Carrie Oesmann is the ASID, CAPS and AKBD certified Interior Designer of Bailiwick Interior Design, a business she has owned and operated in New Jersey since 1999.
