Does anyone out there have any "resolutions" for the build season that they or their team does?

This may shock some of you but for the last few build seasons (since '09), I have done it caffeine free. No soda, no coffee, etc. I do cheat with an occasional Excedrin to deal with headaches. I find that without caffeine gives me more energy which in turn helps me deal with all the fires I have to put out during build. I will do it again this year.

In 2009, most of the adult (male) mentors grew "Build Beards". No shaving for the entire build season. Many attribute it to getting to Einstein that year. Who knows if we will do it again.

So let's hear it. What have you done in the past and what do you plan to do this year? (I'm not looking for robot specific resolutions like have a drive train by week 2, document season, etc).
