If you are already on the verge of breaking a few of your New Year resolutions, then you are definitely not alone. I am, of course, not advocating that anyone should break their pledges so quickly (or easily) but anything that involves lifestyle changes often has this mild annoyance factor and invokes a tiny feeling of discomfort.

A lot also depends on what those pledges are; some may be highly implausible, like winning the lottery, while some may be easier such as one of mine, which is to work less at my desk wearing only underwear.
