Understanding Sustainable Goal Setting

Many individuals struggle to set sustainable goals at the beginning of the year due to a lack of clarity on how to maintain motivation over time. Research indicates that a significant number of people abandon their New Year’s resolutions by mid-January, a phenomenon termed 'Quitter’s Day.' The key to overcoming this cycle is to approach goal setting with a purpose, starting by identifying single keystone activities that can drive smaller, strategic actions toward achieving larger objectives. Instead of taking on too much at once, focusing on manageable, incremental changes lays a more robust foundation for sustained success.
