New Year’s Resolutions: Why is it hard to stay motivated and what can we do to stick to our goals once the initial motivation has dissipated?

iPods, palm pilots, cell phones, text messages, emails…personal stationary, letters, landlines? Remember back in high school when we wanted to talk on the phone for hours or we wanted to write (yes, with a pen)our friends, relatives or weekly crush letters with colors, stickers, pictures, perfume, dried flower petals, etc.? And mixed tapes…or even mixed CDs. Creative expression, right? Where did that come from and where has it gone?
