I hear you. Last night I said to DH that it was a weird New Year. It's weird "celebrating" when times seem bleak.

So I have been using a Bullet Journal since October, and that is incredibly helpful. So my "goals" are to continue to use it and tweak it. And to get into it enough that it truly helps me define and weed out what is truly important. It's currently a glorified task list, but as I understand it, if I use it more, I'll get where I want to be with it. And even as a glorified task list, it's very helpful!

But, what I end up doing is starting "new things" throughout the year. (Or re-start old things that I've dropped.) So I think I like that I don't place more importance on setting goals for January than I do any other time of year. That is freeing!

You could also look at goal categories, for example:

financial goals
spiritual goals
fitness goals
self-care goals
relationship goals
friend goals (I used to have a goal to have someone over to dinner once a month.)
parenting goals
clutter-cleaning goals
house-project goals (like painting or decorating a room)
hobby/crafting goals (finally going to make that xyz this year!)
book reading goals

I'm sure there are a lot more categories here.
