New Year's resolutions do NOT work
Written by Jaco Beukes
According to research performed by the Opinion Corporation and 24/7 Innovation in Dec 2008:
• 45% of people usually set New Year’s resolutionsrn• 17% set resolutions infrequently, andrn• 38% absolutely never set resolutions.
Of those that do set resolutions (these add to more than 100% as some people set multiple resolutions):
• 35% want to improve their financesrn• 38% want to loose weight or exercise morern• 47% want to work on their personal development or education, andrn• 31% want to improve their relationships.
The problem with all of this is the fact that unless you are a businessman or a really ambitious person, you don’t measure and or track your resolutions or goals.
