Only 44% of Us Will Make a New Year’s Resolution This Year
Are you doing the New Year’s resolution thing this year? Or will you FAIL anyway, so why bother? A new poll found fewer people are doing them than last year.
44% of Americans say they’ll make a resolution, down from 50% a year ago. And their dismal success rate is partly to blame. Just 10% of people stick to their resolution, according to the poll. And 47% of all resolutions will fail by February 1st.
The top five reasons we don’t follow through are a loss of motivation . . . not planning well enough . . . not having enough support . . . setting too MANY resolutions . . . and setting goals that are too ambitious. The most common resolution last year was to lose weight . . . and it was also one of the goals we were LEAST likely to follow through with.
