I'm glad they're going well for you so far. techne – I like the idea of monthly resolutions; nice plan. I’m glad they’re going well for you so far.

I started in December, which helped because I wasn't linking it to the miasma of failure that surrounds yearlong resolutions of January. It's working well so far, but they are habits of mind so far, not "work out more" type habits. Maybe those are easier? I am trying to get in the habit of monthly resolutions.

Now I'm really wondering about the historical background for new year's resolutions. I wonder if it's something people have always done, or if it's relatively new.

I don't believe this originates from media hype, at all, but is just a natural tendency that we have in response to the passing away of the old year and the start of the new one. It can be the same way with birthdays: we are faced with our own mortality, realizing that another year has passed and thinking of how we might focus more on achieving the goals we have for our lives. Jeanne Andrew,

It is really good advice, and I completely agree that you shouldn't buy into all of the hype the media creates. I really like your idea of planning long and short term goals (and it is certainly in their best interest to not wait every year until January 1st to start targeting them). Thanks for the link, and I didn't think it was crude at all. It is a refreshing opinion. Very interesting/original post, Andrew.

I definitely didn't mean anything crude by my post here. I was feeling a little cynical, when I thought of the angle. I do wish you the best with all of your goals! FJ,
