New Year’s resolutions and their success rates
Research by psychologist John Norcross found that about 50 percent of people make resolutions. After one week 77 percent keep their main resolution, 55 percent succeed after one month, 45 percent after three months, and 40 percent after six months. Factors include readiness to change and self confidence.

New Year Resolutions Require Planning and Support
Rural readers learn successful New Year resolutions start weeks before January 1 with information gathering, plan building, and social support. Those who succeed plan, pace changes in small steps, reward small wins, and use slips to adjust rather than abandon efforts. Sixty percent who failed previously still try again with better plans.
