I do hope you realize I wasn't being serious. (It's rather like the way we would sometimes fill out our missionary planners after the fact, if we knew they would be inspected.) Yeah, I don't even keep a journal. Ummm… I do hope you realize I wasn’t being serious.

I usually make my resolutions on Sunday as that is my normal time of personal reflection. New Years Day is busy updating the journal on what happened the past year. I agree with Latter Day Guy.

For myself, I find it more convenient to think back on the year I have just finished, consider the ways in which I have improved (if, indeed, I have––questionable), and write those into my journal, pre-dated, in spaces I have left intentionally blank for the purpose. I think of them as my "Old Year's Resolutions," and while they may not be as personally satisfying, the benefit for my descendants will be about the same as more traditional goal-setting, I imagine.

I never seem to be very good at new year's resolutions, as most of my goals revolve around the semester system... however, exercise is one of my goals, and for real intent I just ordered a new ipod shuffle to replace to broken one. I just can't exercise with any intent without music. One more won’t hurt.
