2012 is incoming and it's that time of year people start thinking of new years resolutions; a series of empty, delusional promises people make to themselves in an attempt to better themselves. Before I provide you some advice on how to really set yourself some targets, let's get the following out of the way.
Resolutions are there to alter our flaws, but why do we need to wait until the forthcoming January to do this? We should hope to better ourselves as soon as we have found flaws. Why wait until new year?

Upon setting ourselves these targets, we waste too much time on making targets we won't - or shouldn't have to - keep. Want to quite smoking? Why do you need to wait to do so, rather than taking the initiative and sorting it out? Willpower isn't greater in the early months than any other - the year is cyclical
I don't have new year resolutions, but merely make resolutions over the course of the year. Regular introspection is a beautiful - though sometimes painful - thing.
What I'm looking to do:
- Learn at least one new skill. I'm still deciding between sewing and cooking.
- Ensure I play sports at least once a week; I will take up Squash if necessary.
- Try to refrain from buying a watch.
What I'm looking forward to:
- Hopefully a more positive economic outlook towards the year's end.
- The London Olympics: I truly believe a new era of sustainable event will be ushered in.
- Graduating from university and never having to return.
- A new step on the ladder of life. The first steps of my career (although I'm still undecided on paths)
I hope your year is as brilliant as it possibly could be and you manage to change everything you can; as clichéd as it is, there truly is no time like the present. Unless the future involves a new watch. That's always better.
