Pragmatic Technologies for Life and Business Success®
This week’s reflection point: I recently came across statistics compiled by the University of Scranton regarding New Year’s resolutions. Here are some interesting highlights:
- The top resolutions are: lose weight, get organized, spend less and save more, enjoy life, and stay fit and healthy.
- 45% of Americans make such resolutions while 38% never make any resolutions.
- 8% successfully achieve their resolutions.
- 75% of resolutions are maintained through the first week, which is down to 46% after six months.
- 39% of people in their twenties achieve their resolutions each year and only 14% over 50.
My assessment is that in order for resolutions to be successful they need to:
- Be an integral part of our ongoing goals and desired accomplishments.
- Answer the “why do it?” question.
- Review the resolutions often.
- Have a sense of urgency and accountability.
- Be realistic and have an action plan attached to them with a timeline.
May all your resolutions become your reality. Happy New Year!
This week’s tip: Don’t let my cartoon become your reality. Integrate your resolutions into your strategic review and transform next year into an amazing year.
