Resolutions - Useful Tool or Hindrance?

Personally, I have never been big on resolutions, and most years I don't make any, not even simple or silly ones. This year is different, as my whole thought process has really changed a lot over the past year in so many ways. It hasn't been as drastic as that sounds, but it's been a lot like the manual focus on an old camera, and I feel like I spent years sort of "fiddling with the knob," in the midst of study, self-exploration, meditation, looking outside and looking inside. Then suddenly an awful lot of the picture snapped into focus, and I feel like I'm ready to quit studying the map, and ready to start traveling the world. 

My resolutions this year are very, very simple. I will strive to work out for a minimum of 20 minutes every other day. No matter what, come sickness, or vacation, or just life getting in the way, I must work out a minimum of 20 minutes per day, twice per week. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, I will remain open to opportunity in all things, in all areas. This year more than ever I will be an alert observer, but I will observe while acting. Forgive me, but that's as specific as I dare on this World Wide Web of information. 
 
What are your resolutions for 2016? I would love to hear what plans you have. Are they modest, or grandiose? Mundane or thoroughly odd? One friend has committed to reducing sugar intake and another is working out several times per week.
