Yes, a meta-resolution. When I want to get something done, I will break up the project into specific tasks that can be done in less than one day, and then make a written commitment about when I will finish that task. If it's a big project, I can start by breaking off the early steps without figuring out all the steps at once. The idea is to make myself take actual actions, no matter how paltry, rather than staying stuck in daydream mode. My first actual resolution: create a text file on my desktop to store this list of to-dos, until I decide on a better approach. Due: 2008-12-31 13:15. Done!
