The biggest issue with New Year’s resolutions

The idea behind resolutions – wanting to become a better version of yourself – is not a bad thing! As explained by co-founder and COO of Buffer, Leo Wildrich, 50% of all Americans set themselves a New Year’s resolution. Why is it then that nearly 90% of these resolutions fail within the first few weeks of the new year? The problem lies here: resolutions are vastly different from habits. Be sure to catch the full reasoning behind why resolutions aren’t the path to progress on this episode of Worth It!

Why goal systems are better than just resolutions

Resolutions tend to be abstract concepts that your brain has immense trouble comprehending. Habits, however, can be developed into measurable steps with accountability components. A system or habit is permanent – resolutions can be lost or broken. Even completed resolutions that fall outside of the 90% statistic are only short-term fixes because there is no “next step” after the immediate success. My suggestion is to start implementing small, reasonable lifestyle changes into your daily habits and watch 2018 become a stellar year for you personally and professionally.

The best five tips that will help you become a better version of yourself

If you want to instigate real change in your life for the new year, consider implementing even just one of these five tips. Being present when it matters is crucial to maintaining thriving relationships with others in your life. You don’t want to let your job become all-consuming, so be sure to leave work at work. When you commit to something, commit 100% and learn to say “no” more often to help you prioritize your obligations. Scheduling time into your weeks for your passion projects will allow you to flourish, and the benefits will carry over into other areas of your life. And of course, organize your financial plans! Don’t let the stress from unfinished business take over your 2018. Be sure to catch all of my tips for goal system development on this engaging episode of Worth It!
