Have you ever thought that the timing of New Year's Day is really terrible?

We (the royal We) generally regard the coming of the New Year as an opportunity for a fresh start, resolutions, etc. To me, it seems like a horrible time to make and begin resolutions given that the doldrums of winter have barely begun.
Is it me or is that setting oneself up to fail? Doesn’t it make more sense to plan for resolutions and the end of a cycle more towards the end of winter and the beginning of spring? If so, why are we still doing it the hard way? Do you think you’d be more successful with changes if you started toward the end of winter?
