I know, I know, New Year's resolutions are supposed to be corny and uncool, but I don't care, I still do them and I know a lot of you out there do too.
I stopped for a while, but then I once interviewed this incredibly successful commercial real estate agent. She told me the secret to her success was creating lists of goals every 3 months or so. She said that just writing stuff down had its own magic power and that it had the effect of etching the goal in her brain and thus, she'd find herself subconsciously doing the stuff she needed to do to knock off the stuff on her list.

So anyway, I started doing goals lists and found that they worked too and so I started believing in New Year's resolutions again. But even if you're NOT into resolutions (and all us BIPM fans know that Bill is one of those), you can have fun with the idea like someone I work with did. Here are his top 15 resolutions:
- Gain weight. At least 30 pounds.
- Stop exercising. Waste of time.
- Read less. Makes you think.
- Watch more TV. I've been missing some good stuff.
- Procrastinate more. Starting tomorrow.
- Not date any of the OC or Desperate Housewives cast.
- Take a vacation to someplace important: like, to see the largest ball of twine.
- Not have eight children at once.
- Get in a whole NEW rut!
- Speak in a monotone voice and only use monosyllabicwords.
- Not eat cloned meat.
- Create loose ends.
- Get more toys.
- Get further in debt.
So participate in the power of the written word and tell us how you are hoping to change your life for the better (or worse) in 2005?
