A friend of mine says he wants to get on Karaoke nights with his girl.

Good resolution ? Not so good ?

I agree.

Leisure and " get out-of-your-element" goals.

Most people have never heard of those.

And most can't wrap their heads around it.

I think you need to establish some "fun" goals, too. The danger with setting all work and workout goals is that they get dreaded.

I, for example, have set up a resolution of taking up fishing, 3X a month. Never done it before. I don't know what to expect. It is not, by any means, a way to excel in anything.

Just fun.

Among those people who make resolutions in a typical year, 46% keep them for at least six months. That compares with only 4% of a comparable group of people who wanted to make specific changes and thought about doing so, but stopped short of making an actual resolution, says a 2002 study of 282 people, led by Dr. Norcross and published in the Journal of Clinical Psychology.-that's a better WSJ article

Thank you, Ben.

Old plates, are you thinking what I'm thinking ?

In Italy, it is considered good luck throwing out the window your old plates and pots.

Lesson in there.
