New Year's Resolutions

I was reading some friends blogs and noticed that some people talked about their New Year's resolutions. Why does it take a New Year to resolve to improve your life?

Oh, I know the arguments, but it is still a mystery to me. If you need to improve your life you should start doing it when you think of it, and not wait for a New Year to do it. If it is worth doing in a New Year, it is worth doing now.

Besides, what if you realize that you should be doing something (or stop doing something) in February? Are you really going to wait 10+ months to start (or stop) doing something you should be doing now? Wouldn't people have a better track record of keeping their "resolutions" if they resolved to do it now? If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right, and it's worth doing now.

So there. That's my opinion.
