A brand new year is almost here and that means a lot of us are thinking about what we want to do differently in 2024. Though we may have big plans to make big changes, sticking to a new years resolution is often easier said than done.

A recent study found that of the 44% of Americans who were likely or very likely to make a resolution, 55% kept their resolutions for less than a year, 11% kept them going at least six months, 14% made it at least three months, 19% lasted at least one month, and 11% were resolute for less than a month.

So, if were serious about launching a new routine or project on Jan. 1 whether its a fitness regimen, eating better, improving our mental health or finally learning a new language how can we improve the odds that well still be doing it a year (or more) later?

Robin Arzn says the secret is to start on Dec. 1.
