Create Your Personal Manifesto in 25 Minutes
Instead of creating yet another set of ambitious goals, take 25 minutes to do this little exercise

As the new year approaches, many people commit to exercising more, not drinking alcohol, eating healthier and paying more attention to sleep. I also like to make big work goals, plan trips and have plans to get fit.
But in less than ten days, those plans usually fail and I return to my old habits until the next January rolls around.
I stopped making New Year’s resolutions a few years back, despite looking into the science of how to make them stick. Now, I have a strategy for creating a personal manifesto inspired by the work of designer Ayse Birsel.
New Year’s resolutions fail
We already know that less than 10% of New Year’s resolutions stick. Successful people commit to simple resolutions. Arianna Huffington wants to restore her sense of wonder. Hubspot CEO Bryan Halligan wants to nap and meditate more. Billionaire serial entrepreneur Fred Mouawad intends to keep more of his time unscheduled to dream more and leave time to innovate. Mark Cuban resolves to play more.
