2nd. Waiting for one day a year and (usually even only) then make a resolution for the next year to me sounds like 'maybe could use more self-reflection and/or realistic view'. Self-reflection with the intent of figuring out the reason for needing that one day in the first place (maybe it wold be fun to just pick another day from now on?), but also to figure out whether one is not just being untrue to oneself. For example are you perhaps afraid of making resolutions and then just pick the day of which you know it's common for others to do so as well, making it less bad when you fail at the resolution, because the others more often that not (mind you this is just from purely anecdotal evidence of people around me) also fail? Wouldn't it be better and then just make no resolutions at all? Could be a win on the self-knowledge front? And then from that perhaps shift to making well thought-out resolutions for yourself, whenever is the most appropriate or perhaps even spread over longer periods of time (e.g. start with 'try to achive x' but then don't be too stubborn to halfway decide x sucks, or maybe y is better, or a modified version of x is better, etc.).
