books and sites for New Year’s resolutions (or plain old goals)
Written on January 3, 2009
This post was prompted when I saw that the website 43Things has put out a new book: Dream It. List It. Do It!: How to Live a Bigger & Bolder Life, from the Life List Experts at 43Things.com. (More about the book at 43Things)
For example at 43Things, “10,016 people want to read more books”!
Another book to check out for help in following through on goals and resolutions is This Year I Will…: How to Finally Change a Habit, Keep a Resolution, or Make a Dream Come True by M.J. Ryan (Broadway, 2006). 
From the author’s website:
Why do people find it so hard to change? The secret is that everyone has their own formula for making changes that stick, but most people don’t know what theirs is. They think there is one way to lose five pounds, and another way to stay on top of their email, but they don’t realize that for all changes, there is one system that works best for each individual. This Year I Will helps you lock on to your unique formula for planning, implementing, and seeing a life change through, so you can use it again and again to tackle anything else you’d like to do.
Joe’s Goals, a free online habit tracker, is one of the sites featured in Lifehacker’s tips on how to “Set and track New Year’s Resolutions with free software.”
