I try to avoid New Year's Resolutions
I think we need to resolve to make changes everyday

But... The Evil Tester Sloganizer has aresolution template
visit http://eviltester.com/apps/sloganizer.htmlOpen the Browser Dev Console
Type the JavaScript Below for instant resolutions:
for(var x=0;x<100;x++){console.log("‐" + process_sentence(sentences[30]));}

Here are some examples if you wantsome inspiration for makingResolutions...

I resolve to Question More RequirementsTake nothing for granted
Model "Testing" as a Questioning ProcessI use techniques from Psychotherapy to ask questionsI recommend "The Structure of Magic" volumes 1 & 2 byBandler and Grinder for good questioning ideas.I wrote about this in "NLP meta model for testers"compendiumdev.co.uk/nlp
and here compendiumdev.co.uk/page/nstc201605

I think I might just create a log of what Iexplore
The one skill I see most exploratory testers in need ofimproving is... note taking skillsI wrote about this on my blog blog.eviltester.com/2013/09/10‐experiments‐to‐improve‐your.html
You might find this webinar I presented helpful on ThinkingVisually youtu.be/K4hvAbN2QbEYou can also find exploratory testing notes in the Black OpsTesting Archives blackopstesting.com/post/

I suppose I could scrutinize ambiguityYou bet you couldThe 'meta model' that I mentioned earlier covers how to dothisAnd I wrote about his a long time ago in a "Test Scripting"essay compendiumdev.co.uk/page/testscripting

I suppose I could write down what I learnAnd, this is what I do. I keep a log of actions, decisions, todos,results, and things I learn. Over the course of the day it builds upand supports my end of day and periodic history reviews.
I do all of this in an Evernote which is titled "20161231 Day Notes ‐Saturday", but I change the date, and the day of the week. The dayof the week is to help me remember what day it is!

I made a resolution to practice so that Ican test intelligentlyAnd I do practice.
I create coding exercises,I look for web sites that use technology I don't understand.
I try to bypass GUIs that I don't like.I try to apply all the stuff I read in books from non‐testingsubjects to testing.
I practice so I can test better and with more deliberate thoughtfulaction.

Don't Rely on a New Year's Resolution
Renew and Revisit your resolutions every day.
Write down the actions you will take today ﴾todo list﴿.Write down your "WHY?" ‐ the things you are fighting against,the goals you want to hit, the results you want to achieve, thebenefits you are working towards.Throughout the day write down the actions that you take andthe results you achieve.At the end of the day, write down your why, and what you willdo next.
And repeat. Every day. To keep renewing and working towards yourresolutions.
