For many the New Year brings a time for new commitments. The top 10 New Year resolutions appear to be:
1.    Spend more time with family and friends,
2.    Get physically fit
3.    Loose weight
4.    Quit smoking
5.    Enjoy life more
6.    Quit drinking
7.    Get out of debt
8.    Learn something new
9.    Help others
10.    Get organized

What are your New Years resolutions for 2010? Are they any of the above? Or maybe they are something completely different. It’s good to think about the year ahead and what you want to accomplish. But the goals you set must be attainable.

Oscar Wilde said “Good resolutions are simply checks that men draw on a bank where they have no account.”

Will your New Years resolution this year be an empty promise or will it be meaningful and attainable? Jim Wang says to be SMART about setting your New Years Resolution goals:
•    “Specific – Be as specific as possible as to what you want to accomplish. “Spend more time with friends” is not specific and too easy to abandon because you don’t know when you’ve reached that goal.
•    Measurable – If you can measure it then you’ll be able to track your progress. If you can track your progress, you’ll know when you’ve achieved it or how far close you are.
•    Attainable – You can’t run a race unless you know when it ends right? It has to be an attainable goal otherwise it’s too easy to give up. You don’t want it to be easy to achieve, but you don’t want to put it out of reach.
•    Realistic – This pairs with attainable because you don’t want to set such an auspicious goal that it’s impossible to achieve. You can adjust it based on your progress but you can’t shoot for the next galaxy at the start (the moon is OK though).
•    Timely – Everything needs a bound. If you have no sense of when it needs to be achieved, then it can always wait until tomorrow. Or the next day. Or next year.”

At Spacelocker our New Years goal is to give our members an even more fun locker experience. We will look at new ways for you to connect and interact with your locker friends. Sharing and forwarding things with friends is always a great way to stay in touch. We are looking at ways we can make it even easier for you to digitally forward and share things with your locker friends. So come back to your locker often. Meet new friends. Connect with old ones. And look for new interactive experiences.

From all of us at Spacelocker, we wish you an awesome New Year. May all your hopes and dreams for 2010 come true.
