I\u2019ll come clean right up front: I\u2019m not a fan of them.\n\nMost New Year\u2019s resolutions are a distant memory by the end of January. That\u2019s because they tend to be vague, \u201cshould\u201d-driven, unrealistic, and / or a mash-up of unrelated aspirations.\n\nLike this:\nYou\u2019re going to supercharge your productivity levels, get in amazing shape, become an organizing genius, volunteer more, start meditating, learn a new language, be more patient, and leap tall buildings in super-cute shoes.\n\nOkay, I\u2019m exaggerating a wee bit, at least about the super-cute shoes and tall buildings :-).\n\nBut it\u2019s not that far out of the ballpark, right?
