Re: What Are You Going To Stop Doing in 2014?
#2My New Years Resolutions are always to continue to do certain things that I'm already doing. I don't resolve to stop or start something, I only resolve to continue painting, or drawing, or fiddling with electronics projects, or writing stupid game projects that won't ever see the light of day. I resolve to do this because I know that these activities shape who I am and I draw a significant amount of happiness from them.
So basically, the resolution is to not let the doldrums of life get in the way of the things I enjoy.

#3I'm happier with moderation. Perhaps I'll dance more, and drink less - or perhaps the reverse. But I'm pretty happy with my life right now; no need for any drastic changes.

#5I wish people would give up New Year's resolutions... and not as a New Year's resolution. They're little more than an excuse to fail: People who are going to do something do it. People who aren't are still going to talk about it. There's a morbid example here that I don't need to explicitly state.
If you're doing something you consider bad, or aren't doing something you want to do, then start (or stop) NOW. Don't wait for 2014. January 1 is not some magic date. Ever have a friend who's going to start that diet next month? Guess what a New Year's resolution is? It's not a commitment. It's an excuse not to do something now.
I'm just as guilty as anyone of doing this, but let's not pretend "what I'm going to do in 2014" isn't utterly meaningless unless it's something you are and have been working towards that can't happen until 2014 because it's just that damn hard.

#8I'm going to stop making excuses for other people. I'm willing to give people the benefit of the doubt myself, but if that's not working between two other people I'm not going to take someone else's bullet. Been there, done that, the T-shirt got ruined.

I'm of the same mindset. When someone tells me about their new-years resolutions, I actually get the impression that they're pretty wishy-washy people without much conviction or willpower. And it's usually a correct impression.

I think it's a good occasion to stop with the rat race to fulfill small chores for a moment and think about larger goals. With that said, I almost always failed meeting new year resolutions. I think the problem for me was being in school that always burned me out with homework, assignments and exams. Once I got out of 24/7 academic pressure, I was able to work on longer term goals.
I finally achieved some new year resolutions for the first time this year.
I had 3 goals.
1. Success: Write a book on Ruby. I finished writing and I am just editing right now.
2. Failed: Create an app and get 100 active users. Launched dmtri.com, but failed to get 100 active users.
3. Success: Hit the gym. I've been going to gym regularly.
