I made a few resolutions this past week and plan on starting them on Monday, but slowly, so by Jan 1 I am already kinda sorta in the groove. Honestly, I don't remember ever keeping a resolution. ever.  But my life is a bit of chaotic lately and it's my hope that by sharing my resolutions with you, "saying it outloud" so to speak, I will keep them. (from what I've been told you are more likely to keep them when you share). And though I think the idea A User's Manual for the Human Experience  brings up in Chapter 2, when author, Michael W. Dean says,

And why wait to do your “emotional housecleaning” (and all other life housekeeping) on New Year’s, or on any one day of the year? If you do spot cleaning throughout the months, there’s no need to “dump everything and start over” at year’s end. Imagine if you only cleaned your home, or did laundry, once a year! 

couldn't be anymore spot on, however, I have to start somewhere, so . . . my first resolution will be to begin my spot cleaning throughout the year, and the rest of my resolutions for 2011:

Study Languages
Read More
Get Organized
Save Money
Eat out Less
Get in Shape
