Making professional development resolutions

Abstract

I  wonder if April is a better month to follow through on New Year’s Resolutions than in January. After the holidays, with all the celebrating and relaxing, getting back into a routine is difficult enough without adding new behaviours and expectations about improving oneself based on resolutions. I think April would be easier to accomplish this change. After all, the weather is improving, the daylight hours are longer, and there is a sense of renewal in the air, as spring arrives.
