What are your 2011 New Year's Resolutions | How well did you keep last year's resolutions?

Asked by Ame_Evil (3051points) December 31st, 2010

Basically a follow up from http://www.fluther.com/66878/what-are-your-new-year-resolutions-and-are-you-likely-to/

I surprisingly managed to fulfil quite a few of my resolutions which is surprising considering I wasn’t exactly following them as such (ie I forgot about the list until winter anyways :p). I am thinking this year I may print my new ones out to keep me focused on what I want to achieve.

So how did you do with last year’s resolutions? Are you satisfied with how you did? Are you repeating any for whatever reason? Or just generally, what are your ones for this year?

My new ones are:

1. Stop worrying to people. Keep some of it inside :D. Just basically calm down and stop appearing neurotic.
2. Try to worry less. Stop thought patterns early on. Focus on the triggers that make you worry.
3. Try to be less insane to other people. Again, bottle it up inside a bit and be restrictive of what you let out. If letting it out, let it out in small doses.
4. Learn to purr propurrrly. (Also avoid making awful puns)
5. Learn some more origami (Create modular star)
6. Ask someone out
7. Get a job
8. Finish writing a song (with lyrics)
9. Learn some more songs on piano
10. Beat 10NL consistently over a 100k hand sample for the year
11. Avoid leaving coursework/other work too late like last year. Start small early and build up your work from there.
12. Go out and try and meet new people away from friends. Introduce yourself and be friendly.
13. Try some recipes from your new cook books.
14. Keep up with your diary even if it ends up just writing once every week over the important things that had happened during then.
15. Clean up your room more often

I find it wise to keep them sorta challenging but easy to do at the same time, and easy to understand when you have completed them. For example if a resolution was to “be happier”, that is really hard to define when you’ve completed, or really hard to focus on how to accomplish it in the first place.

So yeah, Happy New Year everyone!

I’m doing this 21 day healthy eating challenge suggested by a local health place I like and bought a 30 day pass to yoga to kick off January. I’ve got to get back in shape for dancing after an injury this year so its a great time to do it with all the health deals going around in January. I also pledge to be more organized (no clothes on the floor in fits of style rage), take my job more seriously while continuing to look for my dream job, retirement crap, etc.

I don’t think I did very well on my 2010 resolutions.

But I am serious about 2011. I have already written down three goals.

I have kept last year’s resolutions and have a few this year that I will accomplish as well.
Good luck on yours :)

I kept one of my resolutions from last year out of 3.

This year, I carry over the same two I did not fulfill, and add two more, which I prefer to keep to myself.

I did very well at keeping my resolutions. I always do. I never make any. I don’t see why I should change it this year. It ain’t broke.

I didn’t make any resolutions last year but this year I have three.

1. Quit smoking. Again.
2. Finish my novel.
3. Blog more regularly.

I won’t be making any resolutions this year. I’ll continue to set goals throughout the year though.

It’s not really a New Year’s thing though I could make it so. I had my last cigarette Dec 15 so plan on keeping it that way.

Knit more. Work less. Travel.
