Explanation
1. Some resolutions have to do with better planning, …
1) 此句中的planning为名词，表示“计划；规划”等意思，如：city planning（城市规划）等。英语中better planning类似汉语中的“合理规划”，指通过制定计划来更加充分的利用时间、空间、精力等。
2) have to do with这个结构表示“与……相关；与……有关联或有关系”。例如：What does this problem have to do with what we’re learning today?
这道题跟我们今天所学的内容有什么关系？
2. Sometimes the resolutions may be too difficult to keep.
1) 此处情态动词may表示推测，相当于汉语的“可能；或许；大概”之意。又如：You may be right this time, but I’m not sure. 这一次你或许是对的，但我无法确定。
2) 英语中too…to…是一种固定结构，表示“太……而不能够……”。又如：
The kid is too young to play this game. 这孩子太小，不能玩这个游戏。
3) 本句中的动词keep意为“履行（诺言等）；遵守（惯例等）”，这是keep的常见用法之一。类似的句子还有：
People hardly ever keep them! 人们很少履行它们（指计划）。
在这一语义下，常见的表示还有keep a promise(信守诺言)，keep one’s word(遵守承诺；说话算数)等。如：
We always keep our word. 我们说话是算数的。
