Here is top 3 tips to help you this year!

The start of a new year is the perfect time to set fresh goals, but staying consistent can be a challenge. Whether you want to improve your studies, get fit, eat healthier, or build better habits, success comes down to commitment and consistency.

Why Do Goals Fail?

Many students set big, ambitious targets without a clear plan, leading to frustration and burnout. The secret? A realistic, structured approach. Here are three proven ways to stick to your goals for 2025 – with a little help from Unilife!

1. Focus on Fewer Goals

Instead of overwhelming yourself, choose one or two meaningful goals. Prioritising what truly matters will keep you motivated and on track.

2. Start Small & Stay Consistent

Big lifestyle changes can be hard to maintain. Instead, break your goal into small, manageable steps, whether it’s studying an extra 30 minutes a day or adding one gym session per week. As Lao Tzu said, “The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”

Unilife Tip: Want to stay active? Our on-site gyms make it easy to fit in a workout without leaving home.

3. Give It Time—Change Doesn’t Happen Overnight

Research suggests it takes around 66 days to form a habit. If you slip up, do not quit, progress is more important than perfection. Stay patient, and you will see results.
