I think that's why people bail on their goals -- they come up with some really nebulous goals on New Year's Eve after a few glasses of Champagne, and they're usually pretty grandiose and not very well-conceived. "I resolve to be a better person, work out more, and get my act together!" For a few days (after the hangover wears off), the goal-setter truly tries to live up to his goals. Maybe he gets up early, goes for a short jog or two, and organizes his sock drawer. But because there's nothing concrete in front of him, he slowly sinks back to his former ways -- while also burdened with the guilt of not living up to his vague goals. I think making these goals more specific will definitely help people stick to them. Kudos on a solid list. .-= Joel´s last blog ..Should You Drive to Work, Even If It Costs You More? =-.

Very difficult to balance several different goals. I don't buy into the whole new years resolution thing, if you want to do something, just do it. .-= Craig´s last blog ..<a href="http://blog.budgetpulse.com/2009/12/21/10-ways-to-prepare-financially-if-you-suspect-youll-be-laid-off/">10 Ways to Prepare Financially If You Suspect You’ll Be Laid Off</a> =-.
