Hello and welcome to SciShow Tangents, this is the lightly competitive science knowledge

showcase.

I'm your host Hank Green, and joining me this week is always science expert, Sarah E. Riley.

Hello.

And our resident every man, Sam Schultz.

Hello.

So how are we feeling about New Year's resolutions in the scientific community?

Because I've heard that they're not much, there's not much that recommends them.

Oh, I thought you meant like we as the three of us are we feeling about New Year's resolutions

for us and our brains in this, just how I feel about it is that the like the evidence

suggests that this isn't the way to do it.

So I'm trying to not, even though my brain says, you should probably do that, have some

goals.

I think you told me this last year, and so last year I didn't make any goals.

And I kind of felt bad about it.

I kind of felt bad about it all year.

Well, don't worry.

You would have felt bad when you didn't meet your goals.

Yeah.

So I guess you just feel bad no matter what you do.

We should stop ending year's little goals.

Yeah.
