New Year's Resolutions: How'd You Do? New Ones?

[dgridley]

So how'd you do with your new year's resolutions from this past new year's? And what are your new resolutions?

[dgridley]

I'm not making any this year.. what I don't make, I can't break.

Resolutions? It's been such a long year that I don't even remember what my list had on it.

I'm not making any this year.. what I don't make, I can't nreak.

Think that is a good idea Dave.

Or..

My Resolution this year is one thing:

1. Not to have any Resolutions.

Thinking about it makes me wonder if there is a survey somewhere with the statistics showing how many people actually keep Resolutions. (there's something for you to google Dave).

Mine are basically goals I set for myself each year and I am beginning to really wonder if it's good to have goals. Seems like it's just a way to set yourself up for failure. lol I think just saying let's see what this new year offers and just find a way to get through it is simpler.

I don't really make resolutions, but I do set goals for the year. Doesn't mean I always set them in the beginning, because goals get be made anytime.

Goal #1: partially did it. Needs more working on, tweaking. I did really good on the part I did work on, but need to work on the other half to be successful.

Goal #2: Didn't really get to work on it at all. Too many things got in the way since Aug.

Goal #3: Worked on it a little, but not enough. Wasn't really something I wanted to do, but probably need to do. I put the pro in procrastinate. Again, things got in the way whenever I was going to start working on it farther.

Goal #4: I worked on it, but it didn't turn out to my liking. Still continuing to work on it until I have success. I'll have to look at other things to get it moving in the right direction instead of being stuck. Not sure what else I can do at the moment.

Wow 92% aren't kept. Maybe it is better to set goals and to make them anytime. I think when you do a resolution, you never get past making your resolution. You have to think out the steps to get there and make a plan. In other words, break it down to something manageable. Even put it in writing.

Wow 92 percent doesn't make it through the year. That's sad but totally believable. I think I should make a Resolution to make it through the year with at least one small resolution! lol

Even put it in writing.

Any time I put anything in writing such as a list like this, or a grocery list, a 'to do' list etc... I lose it!
