As the New Year approaches many start making New Year’s resolutions. According to Psychology Today, the most common New Year’s Resolutions are:
- Losing weight
- Exercising more
- Quitting smoking
- Managing debt
- Saving money
- Getting a better job or education
- Reducing stress
- Taking a trip
- Volunteering
But did you know that less than 25% of people who make resolutions actually stick to them? But don’t fret! Leading experts say that the best way to meet your goals is to have a plan.
We searched the community for tips on how to stick to your resolution and found this Best Answer from Answers community member, Graham S
Make sure your resolutions aren’t vague and fuzzy desires, but clearly defined measurable goals with a target date. These can be broken down into sub goals, with shorter target dates if it is helpful. The next thing to do is to make those goals and targets visible! Write them on your hallway calendar – January 20th, be able to do 5 chinups, January 30th, have lost 3kg, February 20th, be able to do 10 Chinups etc.
Seeing your next goal date every day will help you to continue on the path towards it and the feeling of victory achieved by achieving the things that you set out to do will motivate you to keep challenging yourself! [Read the rest of his answer here]

I like the picture anyway.
I have sereral New Year’s resolutions that’s hard to be completed. There’s so many obstacles.
I want to saving money, getting better in education, improving mental health, become more socialize and talkative, getting more friends, and just making my life better than it’s now.
I also want to spending my time with Yahoo! Answers more and become a top contributor in a category at least.

New Year Resolutions are stupid. I dont make them. Statistics dont lie. Nobody ever keeps them and in my opinion if you want to lose weight or quit smoking you would have done it already. Why wait til January 1st when you can start resolutions any time of the year. Gosh stupid fkin people

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010 TO ALL YAHOO USERS!
I just wish for peace around the world and will make it my quest to help get to the bottom of the terror cells that plague the world.. with a connection to the USA. Wish our soliders come home safely and healthy.. Maybe we should readdress some economic needs of Afganastan children and send coats, books and shoes to them, since they are economnically deprived. We can help rebuild Iraq as we do other nations.
They are a kind people living in hard times.
