New year’s resolutions:
the hard truth?
Peter here, and welcome to a new
year of language learning!
It’s halfway into January and
everyone’s focused on their New
Year’s resolutions. This used to
happen to me year after year, and
now I see it year after year. The
start of a new year gives everyone
renewed hope that THIS is finally
going to be the year they master
their goal!
The hard truth? 90% of these
people will fail.
70% will have given
up by February. Resolutions have
become a kind of societal joke that
we all pretend to play along with.
That is, until we actually have to do
something about it.
Do these numbers surprise you?
I know from personal experience
that it’s easy to let your goal go.
For many, many years I had the
same goal year after year! Then
one year, that all changed. I’ll get
to that a bit later.
9 0%
WILL FAIL
I saw a post on Facebook that
reminded me of the predictable
New Year’s resolution cycle:
“Damn, people with New Year’s
resolutions crowding my gym.
Can’t we pretend it’s February
already?”
Hilarious and also true.
Everyone knows that New Year’s
resolutions are a joke.
But they don’t have to be.
So how do you break the cycle?
How do you stay motivated and
productive enough that you’re still
improving yourself come March,
June and December?
Questions like these have been
flooding my inbox this month, so
today, as a sneak peek at what
we’re o ering with our new
Premium Inner Circle, here are a
few tips on how to avoid failure.
Can’t we pretend
it’s February already?
NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS FAIL
3 REASONS WHY
1
THEY’RE UNSPECIFIC AND UNMEASURABLE
FOR EXAMPLE, “I WANT TO MASTER JAPANESE THIS YEAR!”
The problem: what do you mean by “master Japanese”?
And does this goal pass the measurable test?
