I don't know about you, but I have a love-hate relationship with New Year's Resolutions. On the one hand, I love setting goals and making checklists. On the other hand, I often get super overwhelmed by the enormity of the tasks, and will often throw in the towel if I don't see immediate results. Anyone else in the same boat?
