| Welcome to 2023. Like millions of others, you may be embarking on a resolution for the New Year, perhaps with a goal of better health, finances, or relationships. Good luck—it won’t be easy. As Maria Konnikova wrote for The New Yorker, in 2013, academic studies confirm that New Year’s resolutions are hard to maintain, with many of us likely to fall short in the months ahead. The good news: there are also strategies that increase the odds of success—tips that Konnikova, who writes often about psychology, shares in her survey of the research. Sources of motivation abound, even if not all are scientifically proven. Konnikova quotes one particularly accomplished public figure joking about what had worked for him. “I haven’t had a cigarette in probably six years,” President Obama once said. “That’s because I’m scared of my wife.” |
