Resolutions have a bad rap. There’s certainly nothing wrong with renewing your commitment to being a better person, to make meaningful changes in the new year. The turn of a calendar year is a fresh start, all glistening and full of hope. But, as a whole, so many resolutions feel so vague or unrealistic. The intent is pure, but the reality is muddy. That’s why 75 percent of New Year’s Resolutions fail before February.

Goal-setting is worthy. The desire to be a better person should always flicker, especially for parents who want to set a good example for their kids. But lofty promises never kept can wear you down. That’s why we wanted to offer some resolutions that revolve around a central conceit: connection. Connection with family, with your partner, with your friends, with your kids. The 2023 resolutions you see here are all simple and achievable. Hell, they don’t take huge amounts of time or effort. Actually, most require small, but meaningful, corrections. But that doesn’t mean they don’t pay out big dividends. Happy New Year.
