I do a to-do list...kind of like resolutions by category, but more specific than just "Be better about blah" or "Do less/more of XYZ." Like:
"Green" resolution: replace our cleaning products with green alternatives
Marriage resolution: find a way to get at least one date w/ DH per month
Cooking resolution: try 10 new recipes
Mom resolution: make a file of craft ideas (just print out pics/instructions from online) so I can easily grab and do one with DD1 when we have some time together.
etc.
DH thinks I'm crazy and set the bar too high b/c I have a ton of them, but it actually makes me feel more accomplished if I even get to half of them by the end of the year!
Every year I resolve to give up/cut majorly back on Diet Coke. I fail every year (last year I made it until March!) I am giving up on it this year. I figure I don't smoke, rarely drink, eat well, go to the gym almost every day, and floss twice a day. I will keep my Diet Coke, damnit.

To be the best mom, wife, daughter, friend, sister, person...that I can possibly be. I have such amazing people surrounding me and I just want to be as wonderful to them, as they are to me.
CubbyMama, I love your idea! and I might be stealing it!
I never really bother with resolutions. This year, if anything, I'm going to focus on spending a bit less (we'll see) and trying to find more time with DH. I'm afraid of what damage living apart for over a year will do to us.

I have a long list. I know I'm setting myself up for failure by having so many, but I'll give it a shot.
Drink more water. Eat more fruits and veggies. Be more disciplined (with school especially). Lose weight/get healthier. Show DH more appreciation, give him more compliments. Start a journal.
Lose 40lbs because I am tired of being a fat ass. Plus, I have bins of clothes that I love and really want to get back into them.
I say this knowing full well that I may jinx it, but Ben has started taking his good naps again. So, next week I will start working out when he goes down for his nap -- at least 4, ideally 5 days a week. I am a relatively healthy eater, but I need to drink more water and cut back on carbs.
