When thinking about my resolutions for this year, I realized that saying that I am going to do something doesn't solve the problem, unless I have a serious reason to think I really will do it. This had a major impact on my willpower and the way I have been considering it for the past week. For instance, I write down my goals, the way to achieve them and how I will implement them in my life.

Besides that, I mostly didn't do anything important though. But I am confident this common sense knowledge will make my life better.

Yeah-- this is something that seems intuitive once you grasp it. But just because it's "common-sense" doesn't mean it's not useful. Writing things down and making a plan to get things done is a really effective way of achieving your goals!
