You Can Keep Your New Year’s Resolutions

New Year’s resolutions can be completed.

1. Sometimes just thinking about New Year’s resolutions is too much.

12. Enlist the help of a friend (or Internet penguin) to cheer you on.

13. Or, even better, get a friend to meet some of your goals with you.

Because what’s the use of watching AFI’s top 100 films if you don’t have anyone to discuss them with?

14. Don’t look for loopholes.

Cheating the system will not help you this time.

15. Be patient. Don’t expect your life to change overnight.

Putting 20 minutes in on the treadmill on Jan. 1 will not get you marathon-ready.

17. Don’t look for the easy way out.

Vowing to re-watch every episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air doesn’t count as a resolution either.
