Top ten Irish New Year’s resolutions and why they’re never kept

7. Get out of debt

This one is easier said than done but recent reports show that more and more Irish people are talking to experts about their debts and trying to get out of financial trouble for the new year.

8. Learn something new

This is a great resolution and is usually why classes are all booked up come January. Another great idea is taking a dance class or even learning to speak Irish.

9. Help others

What better way to feel better about yourself and give back to your community. This doesn’t have to be jetting off to Africa or India or giving your fortune away. Start small with some local volunteering or charity work.

10. Get organized

This one is on just about every New Year's resolution top ten list. Whether you want to be able to invite someone over to your house on a whim, or be able to find the stapler on your office desk when you need it, organization can be a very reasonable goal.
