Hey there, today is a special two-parter.

So there's two podcasts.

The first one is about New Year's resolutions.

This one's quick, brief, and then the second one is about what you can do to not feel

blah or nay.

But I wanted to share this with you first, and that is New Year's resolutions.

Research shows that about half of all adults make a New Year's resolution.

Some reports even say as many as 60% of people make a New Year's resolution, which is awesome.

What's not so awesome is that less than 8% manage to keep track of their resolution or

to follow through for more than just a few months.

Now as someone who has studied and obsessed over systems, organizations, and habits that

helped me to live a fuller, happier life, I know that so much of this boils down to developing

those habits, and it means making a lifestyle change, and that's not easy.

But what is easy is slipping back into our old habits.

Sometimes bad habits.

And resolutions usually mean that you've got to make some kind of a lifestyle change or

change a behavior or develop a new habit or break a bad habit, and that can be hard to

do.

I think one of the main reasons why people don't keep their resolutions is because their

resolutions are too vague.

They'll say things like, well, I want to get healthy.

Or I want to spend more time with my family.
