Using fresh starts to set new goals
As we look forward to 2025, we look back on research that’s now a little over a decade old: using fresh starts to set new goals.?
Let’s face it - the new year is a great time to set new (or revisit old) goals. In 2013, Dai, Milkman, & Riis published their popular article that explores the concept of the "fresh start effect" - the tendency for people to be more motivated to pursue their goals and aspirations following temporal landmarks like the start of a new week, month, year, or after holidays and birthdays.

The new year is a time for fresh beginnings and renewed focus...
Making it the perfect opportunity to reflect on past accomplishments and set new goals. As we step into 2025, we encourage mentors and program managers to inspire mentees to look back at their progress, celebrate their achievements, and build momentum for the future. Reflection not only boosts confidence but also helps mentees identify valuable lessons to guide their journey forward.
MentorPRO’s Goal functionality makes this process easy and meaningful. By logging into the app, mentees can review their progress, mark completed goals, and set new objectives with their mentors’ guidance. This collaborative approach ensures mentees stay on track and feel empowered to tackle challenges ahead. Encourage your mentees to take charge of their growth and start the year strong—because every big achievement begins with a well-defined goal.
