Tom Krieglstein explains why 80% of people quit their New Year's resolutions by mid-February. Writing down a specific goal like "go to the gym three times a week for 30 minutes" increases your chances of success by 40%. Sharing it with someone else boosts your odds even more.
Hey, it is Tom here. And I'm telling you to forget about those New year's resolutions because 80% of us are gonna not complete it by mid February. They call it the February cliff. Instead, here's what you can do right now. Write your goal down. Because if you write it down, research shows that you have a 40% increase in your chance of completing that goal just by writing it down. But don't just write down any goal. There's a big difference between I want to go to the gym. I wanted to go gym three times a week. I want to go gym three times a week for 30 minutes. Each one of those is more specific than the prior. So the more specific you make your goal and you write it down a piece of paper and here's your bonus. Share it with one other person or do it with one other person. Watch your goal setting rates go up and up and up.
