Author gives advice on setting goals for 2022

As the world prepares to bid farewell to 2021, millions of people are starting to think about their goals for the upcoming year. Becoming healthier, spending more time with family, and getting out of debt are three common New Year’s resolutions, but experts say that only about 12% of people will successfully achieve these goals. Even worse, 23% will give up by the middle of January!

According to experts, one common mistake that people make is to set vague goals. Author Amy Morin says that New Year’s resolutions should be measurable. She explains that “I will go to the gym three times a week” is a better goal than “I will become healthier.” Morin also recommends using an app, calendar, or chart to track your progress.

Morin says that people shouldn’t lose motivation if they fall off track. She explains that sometimes you might not have time to go to the gym, but that’s not a reason to give up on your health goals. According to one study, people who achieved their New Year’s resolutions fell off track about 14 times!
