I think it's a good occasion to stop with the rat race to fulfill small chores for a moment and think about larger goals. With that said, I almost always failed meeting new year resolutions. I think the problem for me was being in school that always burned me out with homework, assignments and exams. Once I got out of 24/7 academic pressure, I was able to work on longer term goals. I finally achieved some new year resolutions for the first time this year. I had 3 goals. 1. Success: Write a book on Ruby. I finished writing and I am just editing right now. 2. Failed: Create an app and get 100 active users. Launched dmtri.com, but failed to get 100 active users. 3. Success: Hit the gym. I've been going to gym regularly.
