In this episode Matt Weber and I discuss the flaws around making a New Year’s resolution. Most people will make some form of a “resolution” this January first. The problem with this is most peoples misunderstanding of willpower. Your willpower, like a muscle, gets tired and is a very unsustainable strategy to enact permanent change.
While recording this episode I make a reference to a study regarding willpower of which I had little detail. I only could remember the gist of the findings. Well, the research I was trying to explain is referred to as The Chocolate-and-Radish Experiment, a study by psychologist, Ray Baumeister. (For more detail visit this article from The Atlantic, “The Chocolate-and-Radish Experiment That Birthed the Modern Conception of Willpower”
The point Matt and I are trying to make is that a decision to change without a plan is only a hope or a wish that sets up disappointment and a even a feeling of failure that can have dangerous effects on your confidence.
Set a goal, make a plan and remove distractions!
