Every year, people declare their New Year's resolutions and are determined to make the coming 365 days their best yet. Many think about hitting the gym or getting their finances in order. But as a creative person, you might have different goals. If you’re struggling with what to focus on in 2024, we’ve got New Year's resolution ideas that artists, photographers, designers, and crafters can easily adopt.<\/p>\n

One of the most important resolutions you make this year is to list and keep track of your goals. Doing this, especially at the beginning of January, will give you a clearer picture of what you want to accomplish. But it’s not enough to just write down a few ideas and leave them be. Make a commitment to revisiting these goals from time to time—whether that’s weekly or monthly—to see how you’re progressing towards them and what needs to change.<\/p>\n

Looking for New Year's resolution ideas? Scroll down for our list of new year suggestions that are specifically for creative folks!<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. Make a list and keep track of your goals. <\/strong>Studies show that people who write down their goals<\/a> are more likely to achieve them. But while big dreams are nice, tackling them can also feel overwhelming. Journals like Ink + Volt<\/a> and the SELF Journal<\/a> marry daily productivity with long-term plans to help you move towards your goals each day in a manageable way.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Make more time for your art.<\/strong> Whether it’s five minutes, an hour, or even more—extra time can lead to more creative projects. Try limiting your time on social media with an app, or better yet, taking a social media break to inspire you to buckle down on a project you’ve been wanting to try.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Finish a small project.<\/strong> Everyone has to start somewhere, so even if your resolutions list is full of large-scale projects, try including a small one to start so that you’ll feel encouraged to bring it to completion.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. Network with creatives IRL. <\/strong>Join a professional networking group or attend events where you’ll be with other like-minded creative souls. (Creative Mornings<\/a> is a great place to start.) Think networking<\/a> is scary? Try going with a friend or meeting people online first. Just make sure you branch out while you're there!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. Explore a new facet of your field. <\/strong>Is there something in your field that you’ve always wanted to try? Learning a different approach<\/a> or technique isn’t just fun, but it can be beneficial, too. Once you know it, you could integrate it into your current work and take your portfolio to places you never thought it would go.<\/p>\n
