Well, here we are well into the new year, and I\u2019m right on track with my resolutions. Before I put them out of my mind until next year, I thought I should do some extensive research on the subject\u2026.<\/p>\n
The ten most popular New year\u2019s Resolutions are:
\nLose Weight
\nImprove Financial Budgeting
\nExercise more
\nGet a new\/better job
\nManage stress more effectively
\nQuit smoking
\nImprove a relationship
\nStop procrastinating
\nSet aside time for yourself<\/p>\n
The ten most commonly broken resolutions are:
\nLose Weight
\nQuit smoking
\nLearn something new
\nEat healthier and diet
\nGet out of debt and save money
\nSpend more time with family
\nTravel to new places
\nBe less stressed
\nVolunteer
\nDrink less<\/p>\n
The percent of Americans who usual make New Year\u2019s Resolutions – 45%
\nThe percent of Americans who infrequently make New Year\u2019s Resolutions – 17%
\nThe percent of Americans who never make New Year\u2019s Resolutions – 38%
\nThe percent of people who are successful in achieving their resolutions – 8%
\nThe percent of people who have infrequent success – 49%
\nThe percent of people who never succeed & fail every year – 24%
\nThe percent of people in their 20s who achieve their resolutions every year – 39%
\nThe percent of people over 50 who achieve their resolutions each year – 14%
\nNumber of people that maintain resolutions through the first week – 75%
\nNumber of people that maintain resolutions past two weeks – 71%
\nNumber of people that maintain resolutions past one month – 64%
\nNumber of people that maintain resolutions past six months – 46%<\/p>\n
There\u2019s real no point to all of this, I really just needed to keep my extensive research skill sharp.
\nYou may note that my resolution list didn\u2019t include the most popular resolutions or those on the most likely to be broken list. Make of that what you will\u2026.
\nGood luck to those 45% of you that made resolutions – hopefully you didn\u2019t choose poorly.
