New year always comes with pressure to reinvent everything. I am trying to resist the urge to overhaul my whole career overnight... Big goal or just small, steady ones?

Small and steady. There's nothing wrong with lofty goals, but if you're angling for a big change, give it a chance at being successful by breaking it into manageable pieces. Don't start with "I need a new job by March." Start with "I want to have my resume overhauled by January 15th. Then next goal is "Submit 20 applications a week, every week, until I have 4 interviews lined up."

I really like this framing. I find big goals overwhelming unless they are broken down.

Big goal, but then smaller supporting goals leading to it. Break it down for yourself, and you’ll also get the feeling of accomplishment throughout.
