New Years Resolutions are for Lazy People

New Years Resolutions are not agile.

With the new year upon us, it’s that time to make our resolutions. But, why do we wait to do this at the beginning of the year? If change is needed, make the change now.

I came to realize the problem with this a month ago (beginning of December). I’m a typical geek. I sit in front of my desk for about 12 hours a day, and most of my exercise comes from walking to the restroom down the hall. Needless to say, I’m not a perfect specimen of health. I’m not fat by any stretch, but I’m not in shape and I could eat healthier. So, like many I decided to do something about it this year and make “focusing on my health” my resolution for 2010.

Except for one small problem. I needed change NOW, not starting in a month. Waiting a month to start to change would make my problem worse. Suffice to say, I joined the gym that day and today (Jan 1), I’m already feeling much better.

What change do you need in your life?

• Do you need to blog once a week?
• Do you need to stop checking email every 5 minutes?
• Do you need to treat your wife and family better?
• Do you need to eat out less and cook more?

Do it now, and start reaping the benefits now.
