Living Spec New Year's Resolutions
Imagine being six years old, about to turn seven, and sitting down to write your New Year’s resolution on a piece of paper.
What would you have written back then?
For Otto, a 10-year-old aspiring pro soccer player, he did just that in 2021 at age 6 with a simple yet heartfelt and driven goal:
With support from his dad, Dylan from Living Spec, they turned Otto’s goal into action. They created a clear plan, stayed on track with regular practice on the field or in their DIY soccer area at home, and worked together.
Now, just a few years later, Otto remains dedicated to his goal of becoming a professional football player, is making incredible progress, and he’s inspiring others with his passion and energy as a young speaker and aspiring content creator.
If It’s Not Written, It Might Be Forgotten
After the holidays, our Living Spec team has a little tradition of sharing updates, and Dylan showed us Otto’s 2021 resolution. As an adult, this reminded me of how powerful it is to write down our goals.
When goals stay in our heads, they can be easily forgotten or pushed aside. But when we write them down—whether on paper, sticky notes, or in a digital tool like Living Spec—we not only keep track of them, but we also stay focused and motivated as we see progress.
Living Spec is a platform that can help you capture and organize your personal or professional goals, as well as track their progress. Plus, with its collaborative features, it’s easy to invite others for support and accountability.
We believe your goals should reflect your process, not a prescribed template. Start with one goal, expand from there, and customize it to suit your needs. If you’re used to templates, you can create your own snippets or use our example documents as a guide.
Taking small, consistent steps will make a big difference over time. 1% every day leads to continuous improvement over time. Consistency that even a kid can follow from age 6 and up.
