Do as Experts Say, Not as They Do - WSJ.com: "To turn a resolution into resolve, write down exactly what you plan to do, along with the time and place when you will implement that intention ('next Sunday morning at 10:30, at the desk in my study, right after we get home from church'). Include a mental 'packing list' of any information or resources you will need to implement your plan of action.
