Regardless of whether you'll make New Year's Resolutions or not, what's your opinion about it? It's not something necessarily for the New Year's, but I usually set goals, write them down and pursue them, checking the list periodically. I call it being organized.

I like the idea and usually draw up a list so I can follow through in the next year and succeed for the most part.

It's a nice way to start the year. I usually create a list of hopes, dreams and targets for the new year, but usually the list gets "lost" so I don't follow through.

My New Year resolution: survive until next year! (it's still a challenge, right?)

Interesting concept, but I rarely make such a list of resolutions.

Why New Year resolutions? Why not birthday resolutions or any other day resolutions? And why do you need a list at all? Just do what you want when you want!

It's pointless: majority never actually follows through with their resolutions. I know I don't.

I'm not into this: I know I will never follow through with any lists so why bother?

Are you systematic about your goals? (in general, not strictly about resolutions)
Yes, I'm making a list, set criteria for success, margin of error, deadlines, priorities and so on. (ex: I want to lose weight and get from aaa lbs. to bbb lbs. in 3 months and will need to take this actions to achieve it, I'll lose this amount in 1 month, this in 2 months to get to my goal)
