I never made one so keeping it ain't a problem. I do make resolutions from time to time. The success rate is about 50% more or less. For me, the trick is to constantly remind myself that there's a resolution to be kept. Obsessive/compulsive behaviour is your friend.

Why bother? I'm already at the very pinnacle of perfection.

I have a long list from '91 that are still essentially what I need to do. I just make them over again every year.

I've lived long enough to realize that if I make a resolution just constantly thinking and reminding myself about it almost seems to guarantee that I will break it.Besides, I'm with you Rapaire; don't tamper with perfection! LOL

I have some standard ones -- Get rid of (sell, give to friends, throw out, Freecycle) something every day (and wait patiently until it seems to make a dent in the clutter) and learn at least one new song a month. Job from hell got me off course on the latter -- will try to correct that this year. (Especially if I manage to find a more or less "normal" job.)

My main goal is to get rid of things I don't need and people who suck the energy out of me. I have had to take a break from a friend I love very much, but who is an emotional drain. It's damn hard.
