Google creates cute map of New Year's resolutions

After years of making resolutions then breaking them within hours we’ve been careful this year to come up with plans that are cheesy and pretty abstract, like “be more happy” and “chase those dreams” and it seems we’re not the only ones. Google has created a map to coincide with the New Year that aims to plot resolutions from across the world and show off its data visualisation and translating skills in the process.

You can browse via country or even type of resolution, some are achievable and great for personal development, like “go to the gym more”, some are really sweet, like “volunteer once a month” and others are just a bit creepy, like “find a woman”.
