Improving yourself is usually a matter of setting goals, and the start of a new year is arbitrarily a reasonable time to set some new ones.

The way I see it, the new year is also a good time to cut off from the indulgences you tend to fall into from the holidays (i.e. drinking a lot and eating a lot of sweets). It's a good time to go back to work. I think most people who work tend to not use that time off for the most productive things. Or, if you're like me and don't have a job, you can't really do much since nobody is doing any hiring activities at this time. I've been playing way more video games lately, but I'll put a stop to that once the calendar rolls over.

I don't know if that made sense. It's not like hitting reset is a resolution per se, but you get the excesses out of your system for a while before everyone's routines return to normal. It makes sense if you have a goal revolving around cutting something out, i.e. this is the time to have that "one last [whatever]".
