✨ New Year’s Resolutions Free Printable: The Cutest Way to Actually Stick to Your Goals This Year

Because nothing says “new year, new me” like a fresh printable and a pen that finally works.

 

There’s something magical about the start of a new year. The calendar flips, the confetti settles, and suddenly we’re all collectively convinced that this is it — this is the year we’re going to drink more water, sleep eight hours, stop doom‑scrolling, declutter the house, and become the kind of person who actually folds laundry the same day it comes out of the dryer. (Ambitious, I know.)

But let’s be honest: resolutions are tricky.

We start strong. We buy the planner. We color‑code the goals. We light the candle that smells like “Productivity and Hope.” And then… life happens. Kids get sick. Work gets busy. The dog eats something questionable. The laundry multiplies like it’s being paid to. And suddenly our beautiful resolutions are sitting in a notebook somewhere, untouched, judging us silently.

That’s why we need systems — simple, visual, doable systems that help us stay on track without overwhelming us. Systems that remind us of what we want more of and what we want less of. Systems that make goal‑setting feel fun instead of stressful. Systems that help us build habits that actually stick.

Enter: the New Year’s Resolutions Free Printable.

This little chart is deceptively powerful. It’s clean. It’s simple. It’s visual. It’s flexible. It helps you break down your goals into two categories that make everything feel more manageable:

✨ Less of this ✨ More of that

Less stress, more joy. Less clutter, more clarity. Less yelling, more patience. Less scrolling, more reading. Less chaos, more calm. Less “I’ll start tomorrow,” more “I’m doing it today.”

It’s the kind of tool that doesn’t just sit pretty on your fridge — it actually helps you build the life you want, one tiny shift at a time.

And because this is a LouLouGirls‑style post, you know we’re going to sprinkle in sass, warmth, humor, and those little community‑building moments that make you feel like you’re sitting around the kitchen table with your girlfriends, sipping something warm, and planning your best year yet.

So grab your printable, grab your favorite pen (you know, the one the kids aren’t allowed to touch), and let’s map out a year that feels intentional, joyful, and totally doable.

Reader Prompt: Before we dive in — are you a “New Year’s resolutions” person or a “just trying to survive January” person? No shame either way.

I love making New Year’s resolutions and I am in love with this simple chart! I think it’s the perfect way to keep me on track with my resolutions and sticking to them. 

 

A few things on this Free Printable for me are going to be easy, and a few things are going to be hard. In the less category I want to put less complaining, worrying, spending, and yelling. In the more category I want to put more time outside, yoga, gratitude, family fun, and reading.

✨ WHY THIS PRINTABLE WORKS (AND WHY YOU’LL ACTUALLY USE IT)

Most resolution lists fail because they’re too long, too vague, or too overwhelming. This printable solves all of that by breaking your goals into two simple categories:

✨ LESS

What do you want to reduce, release, or let go of?

✨ MORE

What do you want to increase, embrace, or prioritize?

It’s simple. It’s visual. It’s doable. And it works for literally every area of life.

Let’s break it down Lou Lou Girls‑style.

✨ THE “LESS” LIST

A gentle nudge to stop doing the things that drain you.

This is where you get honest with yourself — lovingly, of course.

Some ideas:

• Less complaining
• Less worrying
• Less yelling
• Less spending
• Less clutter
• Less comparison
• Less screen time
• Less overcommitting
• Less self‑doubt
• Less chaos

Playful Aside: If “less laundry” is on your list, please tell me your secrets. I’m begging.

Reader Prompt: What’s one thing you KNOW you want less of this year?

✨ THE “MORE” LIST

A joyful invitation to add more goodness to your life.

This is where the fun begins.

Some ideas:

• More gratitude
• More reading
• More family fun
• More time outside
• More yoga
• More sleep
• More creativity
• More organization
• More connection
• More rest

Playful Aside: If “more chocolate” ends up on your list, you’re my kind of person.

Reader Prompt: What’s one thing you want MORE of this year — even if it feels small?

✨ HOW TO USE THE PRINTABLE

A simple system that keeps your goals front and center.

✨ 1. Print It Out

Put it somewhere you’ll actually see it — fridge, bathroom mirror, planner, nightstand, or taped to your favorite water bottle.

✨ 2. Fill It Out Thoughtfully

Take a few minutes to reflect. What drained you last year? What filled your cup? What do you want to shift?

✨ 3. Keep It Visible

Out of sight = out of mind. In sight = gentle accountability.

✨ 4. Revisit It Monthly

Life changes. Goals shift. Update your list as needed.

✨ 5. Celebrate Your Wins

Every tiny shift counts. Every small step matters. Every “less” and “more” adds up.

Reader Prompt: Where do you hang your printables — fridge, office, planner, or “wherever the kids won’t steal it”?

✨ EXAMPLES TO INSPIRE YOUR OWN LIST

Because sometimes you need a little spark.

✨ For Moms

Less guilt More grace

Less yelling More patience

Less rushing More presence

✨ For Health

Less sugar More water

Less sitting More stretching

Less stress More sleep

✨ For Home

Less clutter More organization

Less chaos More routines

Less piles More systems

✨ For Mindset

Less comparison More confidence

Less fear More courage

Less negativity More gratitude

Playful Aside: If your list ends up being 90% “less laundry” and “more naps,” I support you fully.

✨ WHY THIS PRINTABLE IS DIFFERENT

(And why it actually works long‑term)

✨ It’s simple

No complicated charts. No 12‑step systems.

✨ It’s visual

Your brain loves visuals — especially when forming habits.

✨ It’s flexible

Works for moms, teens, kids, grandparents, and anyone in between.

✨ It’s gentle

No pressure. No perfection. Just progress.

✨ It’s motivating

Seeing your goals daily keeps them alive.

Reader Prompt: Do you prefer simple goal systems or detailed planners?

✨ TIPS FOR MAKING YOUR RESOLUTIONS STICK

Because we’re not here for temporary motivation — we’re here for lasting change.

✨ Keep your goals small

Tiny steps lead to big results.

✨ Focus on habits, not outcomes

Habits build the life you want.

✨ Track your progress

Check in weekly or monthly.

✨ Celebrate everything

Even the small wins.

✨ Give yourself grace

Perfection is not the goal — consistency is.

Playful Aside: If you fall off the wagon, don’t worry — I fall off, roll under it, and take a nap. Then I get back up.

✨ FUN WAYS TO USE THE PRINTABLE WITH YOUR FAMILY

Make it a tradition, make it a memory.

✨ Family Goal Night

Everyone fills out their own printable.

✨ Kids’ Version

Let them choose their own “less” and “more.”

✨ Couples’ Version
