I don't. I find out that, if it was REALLY something that I wanted to do, making a promise at new year's doesn't matter.
In my mind, there are no reasons to not start working on yourself if it's early December, or November or June...
For example, I want to write more consistently. Why would I wait for January to start? If it is really an important goal to me, I could start right away. Waiting for weeks or months because it's a new year is just an excuse to not getting started and I found out that every resolution I made at that time never lasted...

Yes, you're right and I do this all the time additionally to my new year's resolutions :)
I agree, I know a lot of people who become complacent in New Year's resolutions and end up becoming disappointed and never finish their resolution.
I think it has to do with the lack of urgency having a whole year to do something creates.
Hehe, I had the impression the urgency was the biggest at 1.1. :D
