… don’t trust your future self.
When you come up with your resolutions you are your best self – motivated, optimistic and ready to run through walls to achieve your goals.
Unfortunately, the day-to-day grind to bring your resolutions into reality is slightly less glorious. More likely, you’ll want to put it off until the next day or make an exception here and there.
Think of your future self as unreliable and plan today how you will deal with the inevitable sabotage. If you come up with a fool proof plan for your resolutions, you’ll be that much more likely to meet them.
Take advantage of our natural laziness by making good habits easier to do and bad habits harder to do. For example, if you want to cut down on junk food remove it from the house or put it somewhere annoying to get. Same if you want to reduce screen time, lock your computer or iPad in a drawer and keep the key in a difficult to reach place.
Good luck!
