We all have bad habits. Whether it’s an affinity for fast foods, use of Arial instead of Helvetica, or adoration for alcohol, there’s always room for improvement. Do you take too many trips to the coffee room during the course of a workday? Are you chatting with friends on Facebook instead of finishing those TPS reports?

This is for all the designers in the world. We feel your pain. We have compiled a list of our own New Year’s DESIGN Resolutions to benefit everyone who cares to read them. Let us all improve our capacities as designers together. Make them your own! Add to them!  The top 3 contributors to the ongoing list of New Year’s Design Resolutions will receive a Pi Design Creative Juice Canister! Come on, we know you all want one.
