Re: [Talk] New Year's Resolutions
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A New Year's resolution is a commitment that an individual makes
to a project or the reforming of a habit, often a lifestyle change
that is generally interpreted as advantageous. The name comes from
the fact that these commitments normally go into effect on New
Year's Day and remain until fulfilled or abandoned. More
socio-centric examples include resolutions to donate to the poor
more often, to become more assertive, or to become more
economically or environmentally responsible. People may act
similarly during the Christian fasting period of Lent, though the
motive behind this holiday is more of sacrifice than of
responsibility. The new year resolution is one example of the
rolling forecast-method of planning. According to this method,
plans are established at regular short or medium-term time
intervals, when only a rough long-term plan exists.
There are religious parallels to this secular tradition. For
example, during Judaism's New Year, Rosh Hashanah, through the
High Holidays and culminating in the Day of Atonement, or Yom
Kippur, one is to reflect upon one's wrongdoings over the year and
both seek and offer forgiveness. The concept, regardless of creed,
is to reflect upon self-improvement annually.

2 Success Rate
Recent research shows that while 52% of participants in a
resolution study were confident of success with their goals, only
12% actually achieved their goals. Men achieved their goal 22%
more often when they engaged in goal setting, a system where small
measurable goals are used (lose a pound a week, instead of saying
"lose weight"), while women succeeded 10% more when they made
their goals public and got support from their friends.[2] apart of
