We're just a few days away from ringing in the New Year which of course means we all survived the Mayan apocalypse. And with that global catastrophe averted, it's time to look ahead to 2013 with a fresh start. For many, that means trying to stick to a New Year's resolution which as we all know, is often times easier said than done.

For 2013, I plan to try and do a better job of managing work and free time - something I've traditionally had a tough time doing. I'm essentially a workaholic and find it hard to take time away from work to enjoy personal activities or to just sit back and relax. But in the same instance, I also have some work-related goals that I hope to accomplish next year so as you can see, it'll be quite the balancing act.

With this week's open forum, we would like to hear about your New Year's resolution. Do you usually stick with it for very long or give up on it after just a few weeks?
