Preparing for Groundhog Day Resolutions

For as long as I can remember, I’ve never been ready to make resolutions come January 1st. I’ve worked as hard as I can through to December the 20-something and then just collapsed for ten days to take a break at the one time of year when I know I’ll generally be uninterrupted.
