The harder my resolution is, the harder it is to stick to. So for my most unrealistic ones, I never get past a couple of weeks. If I can make whatever it is part of my routine, I can stick with it for months.

I think my craziest one was to cross-country ski daily. That would have worked when I was a teenager, but then I moved right after I made that resolution to an area where it snows about once a year, if that. So I kind of didn't keep that one up...

Spring Break. I really can't do them. Probably because I set crazy goals for myself, like spend an hour surfing the net only. HA. Right.

The craziest I've ever heard was a long time ago, someone at my high school wanted to change his hair color every month. He started conservative - black, auburn... then came blue, pink, suspension, back to natural sandy color. He lasted a good long while though. Wish I had pictures.

I kept mine for 2008! My goal was to read 50 books during the year, and I passed my goal last week. :) I am good about not making goals for myself that I don't think I can actually reach. I hate failure. hah.

My husband likes to make silly resolutions like, "I resolve to go commando at least one day a week." He can't even keep those.

I can't seem to keep the resolution to work out more often.
My coworkers can't seem to keep the resolution to quit smoking. Last year I don't even think all the ones who tried made it through the day.

In my profession (therapist), there's a definite increase in clients at the end of January who are frustrated that they haven't achieved their goals... or haven't even started.

I don't make New Year's resolutions. I make them all throughout the year. There's a certain obligation associated with NY's resolutions... and people tend to rebel - consciously or unconsciously - against obligations.

Stop making New Year's resolutions and just set goals to change/improve your life.

Consistency. Even if I can only do a certain task for a min or two, I just make sure I do it so that it becomes a habit.
