As we go into the 17th hour of 2008 (Woohoo! :P), I am happy to announce that my new year resolution is still on! For those of you reading on to know what it is, and for those needing suggestions for keeping it, read on!
Well this is what I came up with. As our resolutions usually last only a few days (hours?), I thought it might be better making end-of-year resolutions. So I start on 28th December 2007, and keep it till 31st Jan 2008, and voila - my new year resolution is to make end-of-year resolutions!
This is actually great for two kinds of people -
1. Those with weak will power.. who are Chronophobic and find the year-long period a bit too long for the resolutions, this gives them an end-point, an encouragement that its only till few days. Once the 31st dec roadblock passes, there is a sense of freedom and proudness, instead of that of guilt when you break it. And what I think is this will inspire them to keep the resolution, or if not then definitely increase the period.
2. Those (like me) who make resolutions just for the sake of it, and weird resolutions which usually end up being unsuccessful. For example, mine was to stay away from the computer (:P) and I succeeded in keeping it for 3 whole days till the end of 2007! (even if it meant getting away from home and looking like a loser coming to the library on 31st December!) But the point is - I did! And it sure helped cheer my mood at the start of the new year!
So thats it - my new year resolution is to make end-of-year resolutions! Enjoy the new year and relax coz its still time for the next December :P
