I know some people just don’t do new year’s resolutions. “Why make a list when you’re not going to keep it anyway?” And I know what they mean.

For example, I’ve been telling myself that I want to live healthier for years now… That is: do some exercise, eat more vegetables and have a healthy sleep pattern. I’ve probably achieved the latter by now – after having this resolution year after year for the last 10 years – but that is more due to the fact that as I get older, I get a little tired and can no longer do too many late-nighters.

But despite all that, I don’t think I ever lose hope and tell myself: “No more useless promises for you, young lady!” Why? Because I still have that hope in me. And because I hope that one day I will achieve those resolutions. Yes, it may be 20 years later than when I first promised myself, but victory will still be sweet!

So, without further ado, here are my new year’s resolutions for 2013:

  • Live a healthier life. Eat my veggies. Do at least some exercise. Sleep at regular times.
  • Try not to be so cheap, whilst still keeping to my awesome low budget.
  • More productivity, less procrastination. Use my free time wisely. Plan my days ahead.
  • Set my priorities right. Learn to say “no” to some things. Don’t get too busy.
  • Finish re-decorating my house before the end of the year. And make it pretty.
  • Buy more gifts for loved ones. Celebrate special occasions. Cherish moments.
  • Write more. I want to be able to blog daily. I will be happy with 3 posts a week.
  • Start my new blog – and focus on it, persevere at all times, make a difference.
  • Read more. Learn more. Go out more. Think more. Network more. (See this list.)

I hope that I will be able to tick off a couple of these by the end of 2013. If not, there is always next year, and the year after that, and the year after… Never give up on your hopes.
