Monthly Archive for December, 2007
A year is a long time. It’s around three hundred sixty-five days on our Gregorian calendar. By my unscientific estimate, most people forget their new year’s resolution a few months into the new year. Wouldn’t that time be better spent spacing out several small-scale resolutions - temporary efforts that add up to much more than the sum of their parts?
I think so. At least, it’s worth a shot.
I resolve to make a distinct effort to better myself each month of this year. Rather than resolving one change in my behavior and life for the entire year, I’ll break it up into twelve pieces. I’ll do my best to carry out that resolution for the entire month and perhaps take it further. One resolution may be painfully serious, and the next one seemingly insignificant. But, twelve small things are better than one incomplete thing, right?
Last year, my problem was that I resolved to do too many things. To add to the problem, those things were basically immeasurable. This year, I’ll be doing lots of things, but only one at a time. It certainly sounds like a fun experiment.
You should probably join me. It can’t hurt. If you’d like to join me, post your January resolution in the comments.

I have an interview with an MIT alumnus on January 9th.
Advice? I’m talking personal advice, not anything that I could get from Google. But really, I’d be grateful for anything, really.
