An Easy-to-Use New Year’s Resolution Fill in the Blank Form

It’s that time o’ year! Time to make your traditional New Year’s resolution. Creating a realistic resolution hasn’t always been easy for me. For example, in 2012, I resolved to publish my first book by the end of the year. It was published three years later in 2015. Sigh. I wasn’t prepared to meet the challenge. I had no plan. There was no handy-dandy, easy-to-use, fill in the blank New Year’s resolution form.

So, I thought I would aid those of you, who like me, are RS (resolution challenged) with this fool-proof, easy-to-use New Year’s resolution form.

How do you know this form is for you? 

Answer the following questions.

Are you having difficulty deciding on what resolution to make?
Do you want something achievable?
Do you need a challenge?
Are you just so darn happy with yourself it’s hard to find something?

Maybe I can help. All you need do is choose the appropriate response on the form.

Here’s mine:

In 2021, I will give up my efforts to improve my bad attitude. I will do this by shouting, “It’s none of your business!” at strangers. I will reward myself by watching a Family Matters marathon.
