We should ban New Year resolutions. People never keep them anyway so why bother?

New Year resolutions can be a helpful way to reflect on the prior year, set goals and make plans for the coming months. Though keeping them can be difficult, taking the time to set realistic goals and make a plan can still have value, even if the resolution isn't kept in full. For those who are willing to persist and persevere, the potential payoff in achieving a resolution worthwhile can be greater than the effort taken to achieve it. Thus banning resolutions could be seen as too rigid and unhelpful as it ignores the potential benefits of goal setting and planning.
