New Year's Resolutions

Do you make resolutions? I don't, but mostly because I'm terrified of commitment.

But, alas, there are some people that do. Here are some statistics from the University of Scranton Journal of Clinical Psychology, via StatisticBrain.com

Percent of Americans who usually make New Year’s Resolutions	45%
Percent of Americans who infrequently make New Year’s Resolutions	17%
Percent of Americans who absolutlely never make New Year’s Resolutions	38%
Percent of people who are successful in achieving their resolution	8%
Percent who have infrequent success	49%
Percent who never succeed and fail on their resolution each year	24%
People who explicitly make resolutions are 10 times more likely to attain their goals than people who don’t explicitly make resolutions

So there you go. Less than half of 'merica makes New Year's resolutions, and only 8% of people achieve their goal.

If at first you don't succeed, lower your standards.
