New Year Resolutions

By Tina on 30th December, 2008 | Filed under mummy time

I don’t make them.

They never get carried through.

They’re a waste if time.

While catching up on twitter earlier today, someone (sorry, not sure who is it was) mentioned that instead of making new year resolutions, that you should create a life list instead – a list of all the things that you want to do before you die. Kind of like a bucket list, if you will.

I think that’s a much better idea that making new year resolutions that are usually broken by the end of the first day of the new year!

It would also be easy to incorporate my 100 things in 101 days with my life list too

Do you make new year resolutions? Do you keep to them?

    I agree - i normally make one then dont follow thru, this year i plan to follow thru. my goal is to lose 20KG by sep 09 so we can start trying for baby # 2 :-)
  • I'll hold you to that Penny because I'm still waiting for a nephew ;)
  • Penny
    Yeah yeah Tina, I know you really want a nephew but do tell how do I put in an order ? LMAO
  • I make a list, but I don't stick with it. I put one up on my blog site, but it's mostly jokes, very few people ever realize their goals anyway.
  • no more resolutions, just some things I would like to do throughout the year. I am a huge list lover, so any excuse to make one, I will :)
  • I haven't made a resolution in years, but this time last year I did commit to losing weight and I kept that. I've lost about 35 pounds this year. So, I am trying to decide what I will commit to this year.

    I read that life list idea in a magazine recently. It's a good idea. I have a bucket list, but I think a realistic life list would be a good idea to develop.
  • Congratulations on your weightloss and keeping to your last year's
    resolution!
  • I have in the past made new years resolutions but this year I am making lists of what I want to do this year instead. Then I will break them down into manageable stages.
  • I've never made a list. I can't understand how at the beginning of the year is going to make people do those things throughout the rest of the year because they said so.
  • I do make lists and I tend to do good with them for the first month or so. I'll try better this year and maybe the life list would be a better thing to do!
  • I love new years resolutions. Perhaps I relish the idea of leaving the old behind and getting a fresh start with the opportunity to do it better this time! Have a great 2009!
  • I make New Years resolutions all year round, HA! I do feel a strong sense to renew around the new year, so yes. I do the resolution thing, but I usually call them goals. I do love love love the life list idea and will work on mine. That's a great idea
  • I've never liked New Year's resolutions, but I went ahead and stole the bucket list idea from you!
