Default New Year's Resolutions

I think the tradition of making New Year's resolutions goes way back to the ancient Babylonians. Since their new year began in the spring, they used to resolve to give back all of the farm tools they had borrowed during the year.

It is not easy to come up with a resolution that is achievable. I can't stop beating my wife or quit smoking.

Do you want to share your New Year resolution(s)? Or maybe they are too private...

Why can't you? I really think you should refrain from both.

1. Stop sweating the small stuff.
2. Work smarter and not as hard.
3. Make time for myself for a change.

Always one of my favorites - no regrets for sure.

A promise not to change anything.

On first reading I thought you said "Stop swearing" and I knew that and smoking cessation was way too much for any one year.
