Got an ambition that’s been on the shelf for a while? This is the year to turn it into a reality.

Maybe you’ve been trying to pay off your credit cards but have been struggling to save money because of inflation. Maybe you’re considering taking the next step in your relationship but want to ensure it’s the right call. Or perhaps you just want to scratch some of those smaller projects off your to-do list: declutter, start flossing and make more friends at work.

Whatever your goal is, Life Kit is here to support you. This year’s New Year’s Resolution Planner has a fresh mix of ideas to help you move forward in 2024.

Each episode comes with clear, practical advice on achieving the objective, which is important when sticking to a resolution. “Goal pursuit requires focused attention,” says Elliot Berkman, a psychologist at the University of Oregon. “Our minds need to be focused on one thing,” he says.
