9Honey

A lot of goals could be set to improve from this year as we enter into the next. 

But, if like many of us, you avoid completing New Year's resolutions like coronavirus, you're in good company. Because it seems for our favourite stars, no resolution is a good resolution. 

The runner up? Get more sleep… and we couldn't agree more.

"I stopped doing that a few years ago, but in general it would be to exercise a bit more, drink a bit less."

Belinda Russell,  9News Sydney Presenter.

"To avoid not living up to them, I rarely make them. Maybe try to pick up the guitar a bit more to practice. I have owned a guitar for about 14 years and only played it about 20 times."

Ally Langdon, Today Show Presenter.

"I never make them because I never keep them and I don't like being disappointed."

James Bracey, Wide World of Sports host.

"I don't like to make promises I can't keep. And silly season usually leads to silly decisions, so I avoid making big calls on life until the new year is off and running. Not sure if this theory has proven a winner, but I've stuck to it."

Natalia Cooper, 9News Sydney Presenter.

"I don't have any particular resolutions. I'm just really hoping 2021 will be much better than 2020!"
