I’ve never been a huge believer in ‘New Years Resolutions’. They always seem so contrived, and thrown away so easily that I’ve never really bothered to sit down and make a list. Losing weight, and savings money tend to be the resolutions that most people try to adhere to. Then Valentines Day rolls around, and we’re waist deep in chocolates and spending money on gifts that generally have no need to be bought.

USA.gov has conducted a list of the Top resolutions going into 09. I’m not sure why time is being taken by the government to research resolutions, but that’s a discussion for another time. Here’s the complete list, and just as I mentioned there’s no creativity for most of them.

* Lose Weight
* Manage Debt
* Save Money
* Get a Better Job
* Get Fit
* Eat Right
* Get a Better Education
* Drink Less Alcohol
* Quit Smoking Now
* Reduce Stress Overall
* Reduce Stress at Work
* Take a Trip
* Volunteer to Help Others

Barring the ‘Take a Trip’, and ‘Volunteer to Help Others’ they’re all bland and pardon the pun, don’t carry a lot of weight. Therefore, I’ve devised a list of resolutions that I’m actually going to try and see where it goes.

- Create An Invention That Makes My Life Easier
- Buy a junkyard car and fix it up
- To Beat Over 100 Video Games By December 31st, 2009
- Do A Favor For Atleast One Person Everyday
- Becomes The Most “Friended” Person Ever On Facebook

These are just a few that I believe I could possibly get done this year, and at the same time have fun doing it.

Do you make a list of New Years Resolutions every year? If so, what are they; are they creative? How far do you go in sticking to your resolutions? Feel free to comment below
