Millennials are now ditching New Year's resolutions and doing this awesome idea instead ...

We all know the drill ...

Every year we make a vague resolution to 'eat healthier' or 'be more active,' and then a week later we're eating a tub of ice cream on the couch binge watching Friends for the 6th time in a row.

While there's nothing wrong with having an overarching goal for the year, none of us are perfect, which is why many young adults are opting for a different goal setting scheme in 2019.

The items need to be as specific as possible, so you know when you've achieved them.
