It's so easy to get overwhelmed.

A plan to lose weight, start a fitness program, save money, spend more time volunteering, get out the door faster every morning -- or do anything new -- can be stymied before you even start... if it seems too difficult to achieve. Like most of us, you'll be tempted to just give up.

But don't.

There's a simple solution to streamlining your goals, plans, even beauty routines, so you actually accomplish what you've set out to do... successfully.

Let's say you've decided to lose 10 pounds by the start of summer, which is about 12 weeks from now. That should give you enough time, but it's still not easy for most people to do. Instead, why not consider losing five pounds in six weeks? Once you've hit your goal, you'll simply repeat the goal of losing five pounds in six weeks. By summer, you will have successfully lost the ten pounds.

It's daunting to try to change your life -- even if it's something as seemingly simple as losing a few pounds or starting an exercise program. People who make New Year's Resolutions each January, usually fail, because the goals are unrealistic and therefore unreachable. "The 50% Solution" is a psychological approach to cutting your goals roughly in half, allowing you to reach them more quickly, thereby giving you the motivation you need to keep going.

There are many ways to use "The 50% Solution" to simplify your life and increase the success rate of just about anything you set out to do:

Here's another example: A few girlfriends and I recently lamented how we don't see each other often enough. We made plans to have a standing weekly breakfast date, but with everyone's busy schedule, this proved to be too ambitious. The solution was to meet every other week, which turned out to be achievable for everyone.

It's all about setting realistic goals -- not overly ambitious ones that can never be met -- and even then, cutting them back by 50%. And it's a way of streamlining your life to make room for what's truly important.

Staying connected is a powerful tool: "Friend" me on Facebook, "Tweet" me on Twitter, and "Pin" me on Pinterest. Stay well . . .
