Go ahead, fail. Fail until you don't.

New Year's Resolutions! Why do we always break them?

I co-founded and operate WebMax.ca and the nature of my business, working on a computer all day, is not the healthiest of vocations.

I love my work and my company is very successful but I wanted to feel healthier. 2 years ago I decided to get back into the pool.

It was tough. 

Today, swimming is almost a daily habit and there are some days I have to extra-motivate myself. 

Confession. I go to my car in my pj's, start it and go back into the house. I don't want the car to sit there idling so I have to get my gear together and get-out-of-the-house.  See what I did there?

This spring 2019, a new goal, I will be tackling riding my bike to the pool and home again.

Two reasons, I want to be less dependent on my car and gain the added health benefit of riding my bike to have a swim. 

For me, its little tricks that keep me moving towards my change-goals. I'll let you know how I do with my 2019 goal. What goal do you have? What little tricks can you employ that will propel you forward? - Susan Jones CEO WebMax.ca

Here is an interesting article from Fast Company:

Science explains why productivity hacks and resolutions are practically destined to fail

"First, there is a big difference between wanting change and wanting to change. Even when people profess a clear desire to change, what that usually means is that they are interested in change as an outcome rather than change as a process. In other words, most people don’t really want to change, they want to have changed.

For instance, when someone says they want to lose weight, what they usually mean is that they want to have lost weight, without the dreadful stoic sacrifices that that would entail. Same for when someone says they would love to learn to speak Japanese or quit smoking."
