I often think of New Year’s resolutions as frontal assaults on one’s stuck points or failings. That may be why they rarely work and people generally do not stick to their resolutions. Better to approach things obliquely when you are stuck. Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt’s oracular Oblique Strategies cards have long been a powerful way to do so, and can lead to some pretty powerful resolutions. You can get a new oblique aphorism every time you reload this page.
