Have you broken your news years resolution yet?

It was sometime around mid-January when the New Year's resolutions started to fall apart. We were going strong for the first few weeks, but life happened. We aimed to eat better, exercise more, write more, and learn to meditate. Then life happened...

1. One-third (34%) of U.S. adult citizens plan to make New Year's resolutions or set a goal for 2024.

2. 39% of people tend to give up on their New Year goals in the first month.

3. Just 9% of adults keep their resolutions all year long.

The big three resolutions—improving fitness, finance, and health—are the top goals. However, reaching your resolutions requires changing your habits. James Clear, author of Atomic Habits, says:

“New goals don’t deliver new results. New lifestyles do. And a lifestyle is a process, not an outcome. For this reason, all of your energy should go into building better habits, not chasing better results.”

We've compiled five of the top tools creatives and entrepreneurs use for optimal habit building.

4. Blinkist: Provides endless motivation for learning more about maintaining and achieving your goals.
