Are you thinking about making the new year a fresh start.? Not so fast! Some say new year's resolutions are a waste of time as they are nothing more than a long list of "shoulds" that we don't take to heart. Make this year different. Take time to plan your new year's resolutions carefully and avoid the post new year let-down. Let's face it, graduate students don't have a lot of time to waste on new year's resolutions that aren't effective. Plan your new year's resolutions carefully this year and choose realistic goals that you can keep.
A long list of resolutions will set you up for failure. Think carefully about what you’d like to change. Choose only one or two goals as your resolutions. Be honest with yourself. Your goals should be achievable and realistic.
Happy New year 2011
