Personally, I find New Year Resolutions to be counter-productive. At times, it can of course be productive, but it can also lead to procrastination as people who are looking for a change will often wait until the New Year so that they can continue with their bad habits until that point, which in the end is just hampering their efforts to change whatever it may be in their life. Take for example if some guy wants to go to the gym. If he promises himself he will do it starting from the new year in September and then continues with his bad habits, it will 1) Lead to a harder amount of effort needed once he does starts to change and 2) He ultimately would be delaying what he wants. This applies to all aspects of change. If you delay it, ultimately you are not helping yourself, and you would be going against what you want. Procrastination can also transfer to other aspects of your lifestyle. If you are to apply it towards one thing, ultimately it will spread and control all aspects of your life whether it is work, or life at home. This is why personally, I don't believe in New Years resolutions. If you don't like the way you are handling something in your life, don't wait until New Year to change it. What is so special of starting a resolution during the New Year? How does doing something a couple of weeks or months later going to change the way you approach a resolution. The answer is nothing. If you have an intent on changing something you should handle it immediately, and not wait until a new year. You will get it done sooner and instead of starting the New Year with a resolution, you will start the New Year knowing you are completely satisfied with all aspects of your life.
