dr. jeffrey gardier. he is a clinical psychologist in a private practice in new york. now, jeff, you are going to tell us everything we need to know to start out right today. what is your number one tip, jeff? >> i think that the number one suggestion that i always make is instead of just talking about what your new year's resolutions are, actually write them down. this is a contract that you make with yourself. you memorialize it and it is there on paper. and you can look at it any time you need a reminder. you can put it on your bathroom wall. you can put it on your refrigerator. it is there for you to remember what it is that you set out to do. >> okay. now, i can see myself tearing it off the refrigerator like february 1st, you know, if i'm lucky to last that long. what is the key to actually keeping the resolutions once you have made them and written them down? >> well, i think, first of all, you have to put together a plan. a lot of us like to use the gps system. a lot of us like to follow maps. well, why not follow a road map for the new year's resolutions that
