New Year's Resolution Generator

Stuck for a New Year's resolution? Pick a category and get a random, specific idea plus a small first step you can actually take in January.

Tips for keeping a resolution

• Be specific: "walk 20 minutes after lunch" beats "get fit".
• Start tiny: make the first week easy so you build the habit.
• Attach it to a routine: do it right after something you already do daily.
• Track it: a tick on a calendar is enough.
• Missed a day? Just carry on the next day.

FAQ

How do I pick a good New Year's resolution?

Choose one specific, measurable habit rather than a vague goal, and decide the first small step you will take in the first week of January.

When should I start my resolution?

January 1 is traditional, but any day works. Starting with a tiny version of the habit makes it easier to keep going.

How many resolutions should I make?

One or two is easier to keep than a long list. Add another once the first has become routine.
