The New Year resolutions

You know how people make New Year resolutions all the time, and more often than not, they end up not complying with them? I read somewhere that a common piece of advice to most people is to NOT set New Year’s resolutions. Others suggest to start in February, rather than in January.
In my case, I have taken the past month to make my New Year resolutions, and I’ve spent a substantial amount of time talking with friends and colleagues alike to ensure that they know what pathway I am in. Mostly, as I have mentioned before, 2010 will be ALL about me. With a healthy dose of “you”, of course.
I’m curious to hear – what are YOUR New Year resolutions?

not a super crucial topic
My New Years resolution always involves doing onorous tasks I have been putting off. This one is easy to keep because I do this in January. I make a list of stuff I need to do (usually things like getting something repaired, clean out a closet, writer a letter I’ve been putting off etc…), and then do as many of them as I can as and as quickly as I can with the deadline being the end of January. It gives me a sense of satisfaction, relief that I finally got those things done and the feeling of more energy to begin the new year with. I highly recommend it
I used to make New Years resolutions, until I realized that if I actually had any intention of accomplishing these goals, I wouldn’t wait for a new year to be determined to fulfill them, I would start right away. Oh course I could stand to lose a few pounds, but who is counting???
