They expect that resolutions to a magical charm, that will change them into people who wake up early, can set priorities, know that that second slice of cake won't make them happier. They ask too much for a resolution. It would be like going to the laundry mat, leaving your dirty laundry in a pile on the floor, and expecting them to be folded and clean when they return. New Years is an opportunity, nothing more. If you treat it like magic, you will fail. I think the reason most people fail is that they ignore the powerful draw of habit.

I couldn't agree with you more. Would you consent to re-publishing this in PresentMagazine.com? While our audience is Kansas City-centric, I think the creative community and our readership at large will see plenty of parallels with the grossly overstated Time article by Fletcher and your astute response that references SF and NY communities. Drop me a line via email. We can chat more. Hi,
