Probably my No. 1 New Year's Resolution should be to stop procrastinating ... because I haven't really decided what my 2019 resolutions will be be. Luckily, The Conversation global network has offered up several great articles to help all of us pick some worthy personal improvement goals for the coming year.
As the holiday season comes to end, The Conversation Canada looks forward to the coming year with excitement and optimisim. I hope you feel the same way. Have a great weekend and we'll be back in your Inbox on Monday.
