THE FUSE

January is wrapping up. And if you are a New Year’s resolution person, I have some not great news for you. February is kind of where resolutions go to die. In fact, some studies show that 88 percent of New Year’s resolutions fail in the first two weeks. Partly it’s due to a common but largely debunked idea that it takes about 21 to 30 days to form a new habit. So in theory, if you started some new personal improvement commitment on January 1 and you really stuck to it (every day!), by February 1, it might be transformed into a habit.
