A place to keep my personal thoughts.

New Year, New OOT?
Prompt: What is your opinion of New Year’s Resolutions? Do you make them? Do you keep them?

New Year's Resolutions are just another way for me to procrastinate. Why should I go on a diet in October when I can make it a New Year's Resolution? Surely, I should resolve to stop smoking in 2019 rather than hanging up the habit in December.

Yes, I often tend to delay and negotiate with myself, but if I'm going to actually make a change in my life, I'm not going to do it just because a new year has begun. I've made New Year's Resolutions for many years, and by February, much like the exercise equipment I buy to go along with the Resolutions, they're broken and forgotten.

I do intend to make some positive changes in my life, not necessarily because it's a new year, but because those changes need to be made. But those changes are not going to be New Year's Resolutions that can be kept or broken.

Now I'm going to get my shit together and get some sleep. Hmmm, that would be a great Resolution for 2020...
