How likely are you to achieve your New Years resolution?

According to a study conducted by the University of Scranton, only 8% of people actually achieve their New Year’s resolutions. The study analyzed the resolution success rates of 200 people over a two-year period, and found that the vast majority of resolutions fail within the first few weeks of the new year.

The study also found that the most commonly made resolutions are related to health and fitness, followed by resolutions related to financial goals and personal development.

Interestingly, the study also found that people who explicitly make resolutions are 10 times more likely to achieve their goals than those who don’t make any resolutions at all, suggesting that setting goals and intentions can be an effective way to motivate behavior change.
