Time for new year resolutions

It's the time of the year when you make new year resolutions. I don't make resolutions every year. Many a year it's just, "I will strive to do my best with renewed enthusiam". But this year, I have three specific resolutions to make:

1. Wake up early every morning
This is one thing that I have found impossible to put in practise. In no other activity has my failure been so thorough. Yet I have keep trying. I can't give up. I think this time I will succeed. Because now things have changed. I am now not just responsible for myself. So I feel a greater sense of responsibility. I am hoping for the best.

2. Plan my days well and follow the plan earnestly
Twenty four hours is too less time for a day. There are just too many things to do and too little time. The biggest reason for not getting things done on time lack of planning. I need to plan things well and execute to plan. I have been trying to do this for past 2-3 weeks, with varying degree of success. I think I know enough now to make progress on this point.

3. Concentrate better, think clearly, understand myself better, have healthy self-dialogue and maintain equanimity every moment
That's a tall order. But no one said that life is easy. Good progress needs monumental efforts. I need to make these habits my character. These things should come naturally to me, without any need to make efforts. I hope I will spend a lot efforts to make progress here. But I am not expecting miracles.

[Speaking of miracles, miracles never occur by chance. They are created one day at a time for decades before their effect is visible.]

Let me see how much progress I make and whether I am successful in fulfilling these resolutions.
