Patti’s New Year’s Resolutions: 2026

| Patti Webb

Last week, I passed my PMP certification exam. This was my biggest goal from 2025, and I’m so relieved and excited to have that under my belt. Last year (hopefully) was the end of a tumultuous couple retrograde years and I’m happy to put it all in the rear view with something tangible to show for it.

Now that I’m out from underneath the studying, I’m faced with a million different TikToks of young 20-somethings figuring out planners and annual productivity goals for the first time…

Mary’s New Year Resolutions: 2026

| Mary Stoffel, MOT, OTR/L

I’m proud to say that I accomplished most of my resolutions from last year. 2025 became a real reset for me, serving as a chance to recharge and rethink how I want to move through this next phase of life.

This year is about real follow‑through, committing to making progress on the goals I’ve let slide in the past. In the clinic, I used SMART goals to help ensure that care is clear, measurable, and aligned with my clients’ needs:

  • Specific – the goal is clear and focused
  • Measurable – progress can be tracked and know when it’s achieved
  • Achievable – realistic to one’s current capacity and circumstances
  • Relevant – aligns with one’s values and priorities

Here’s my quick Resolution recap for the month of January.

Patti’s 2025 New Years Resolutions

| Mary Stoffel, MOT, OTR/L

I think we all start the year with the best intentions. In 2024, I wanted to continue along my path, just keeping things steady and predictable. I’d had enough upheaval and just wanted to get through my life.

Around November however, I had a regrettable crash out and I know now something big needs to change. I don’t think I’ve ever been this stressed or frustrated with a particular component of my life. This went beyond just setting boundaries or just getting things done.

I turn 40 at the end of the summer. In order to get where I want to be by then, I want to go big. Whether that means finding a new job or diving into a new field, we’ll be doing some hardcore recalibrating.
