Your New Years Resolutions are Stupid
Controversial title, am I right? But think about it…
How many times have you made big resolutions for your New Year, things like:
January is also a pretty bad time of year to start doing new things. In many parts of the world, January is filled with freezing cold and lots of snow. Why would you start running at this time of year? It takes anywhere from 18 to 254 days for an activity to become a habit[1]. If you feel too cold to run one day, there goes your New Year's resolution. It's better to form resolutions during the spring, summer, or autumn months when you can actually keep up with them.
You'll find that most of your resolutions fail simply because of the simple psychological effect of procrastination. The goal is to have "New Year" resolution, but Day 1 of the New Year finds most people recovering from way too much drinking or partying. "I'll do it tomorrow" becomes your motto for the year, and you end up failing.

- I will sign up for a gym membership
- I will eat less
- I will actually go the gym once I sign up for the membership
- I will eat less even though it's damn hard
- I will make an effort to drag myself off my lazy a** to get to the gym now that I have a membership
- I will try to eat less sugary foods - I just can't eat less
- I'll go to the gym next year
- I'll eat less when I start going to the gym next year

Don't be Stupid: Don't Make Resolutions This Year
What does this statement mean? To put it simply: don't treat your goals for the year like a New Year's resolution. Don't start them on the New Year, but set a date that you're going to start and ACTUALLY START THE DAMN THING!
