5 Tips to Help You Actually Stick To Your Goals in 2024

At the Thrive Together Network we are all about planning, and we’ve created a workbook called the Thriving Artists Map that you can use to guide you to a great year in the studio and in your art career. The Map represents what we are all about and what our community does throughout the year. It has weekly studio planning pages, goal setting prompts, a fully dated calendar, and so much more to help you set and achieve goals. In this episode of the podcast, we dive into this idea of sticking to goals to really get your wheels turning about what it will take for you to thrive in 2024.  So, join us for Episode #59 of the Thriving Artists Podcast, 5 Tips to Help You Actually Stick To Your Goals in 2024, to discuss some practical strategies to create a roadmap for your year ahead and stay committed to your goals.   Jamie and Kaylan’s 5 Tips to Help You Stick To Your Goals are: Set Clear and Specific Goals: Vague goals like "improve my art" or "get better at marketing" won't provide the direction you need. Instead, break down your goals into specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound objectives.  Create an Action Plan: Break your goals into smaller, manageable tasks and assign deadlines to each of them. This step-by-step plan will give you a clear roadmap to follow and make your goals feel more attainable.  Find an Accountability Partner or Community: Accountability is a powerful motivator. Find an accountability partner—a fellow artist, a mentor, or even a supportive friend. Share your goals and action plan with them, and schedule regular check-ins to discuss your progress.  Prioritize Self-Care and Balance:  Remember that your well-being is crucial for sustained productivity and creativity. Take breaks, practice mindfulness, engage in activities that recharge you, and maintain a healthy work-life balance. Celebrate Milestones and Progress: Sometimes, we get so focused on the end result that we forget to acknowledge how far we've come. Celebrating milestones boosts motivation and reinforces a positive mindset.    We hope these tips set you up to start looking toward an amazing 2024! The Thriving Artists Map is one tool to help you stick to your goals in 2024, and it is best paired with a membership to our online network so you can get the benefit of a community of artists to keep you on track in 2024.
