No More New Years Resolutions

As we say goodbye to 2015, many folks will ring in the new year with resolutions to:

• start something
• stop something
• do better at something

My protest against New Years Resolutions isn’t about resolving, it’s about the timing.

If you really want to change something in your life, don’t wait for the calendar.

Resolve to do it and then do it.  If you slip up, then acknowledge it and start again. And again.

Unless we’re talking about writing the wrong year on your checks, then that would be an appropriate resolution to start next year.  But seriously, does anyone hand write checks anymore?

See ya next year.
