A popular New Year’s joke has been printed on many images:
 
Q: What exactly is a New Year’s resolution?
A: It’s a “to do” list for the first week of January.
   
The joke has been cited in print since at least January 4, 2009, when it was printed in an “Angus & Phil” comic strip by Annie Taylor Lebel.
