New Years Resolutions

New Years resolutions and I have a tacit agreement not to interfere with each other.

It's a kind of benign neglect I suppose. )

Do you find that attaching these goals to the calendar & the new year helps, as compared to just setting yourself goals with arbitrary dates, or timeframes significant to your life in some way?

Interesting question. Since my memory is so unreliable, it probably helps to have a nice clean calendar date to attach to the resolution. Arbitrary timeframes appear to fall by the wayside unless the date is particularly significant. How about you, Cos?

I can't remember the last time I made a new years resolution, and even then (sometime in the early 90s?) I probably didn't take the new year aspect of it seriously. I know it doesn't do anything for me, but I also see it as such a common practice, so that's why I'm curious whether and how it helps other people to attach goals to calendar years.
