New Year's resolution: Make 52 "New Week's resolutions"

Do you make New Year's resolutions? What's your success rate on actually following through on them? If it's anything like the statistical success rate of the general population, I'm guessing it's pretty dismal (and if it's not, kudos to you!).

If you really want to make an impact on your life, make one resolution this year, and one resolution only...

"I resolve to make 52 New Week's resolutions in 2009."

You can read more about taking a New Week's resolution approach in my post over on the U.S. News & World Report blog.

Wishing you a rich, fulfilling 2009. May it bring you precisely what you need.
