The fourth quarter of the year began Sunday. That means that this week is a great time to take out your list of New Year's Resolutions (you did keep a list, right?) and evaluate how you've done.

If you haven't accomplished what you hoped to accomplish, look on the bright side — you still have a whole three months to go!

If you can't realistically accomplish all of your goals, pick just one or two that you can achieve and recommit yourself to those.  It is better to do one or two things well than to make a half-hearted attempt at ten.
