Monthly Reflections from Katana Abbott
What is Quitter's Day?
| |
|
“Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right.”
Oprah Winfrey
Let’s face it - we repeat this every year. We plan those New Year’s resolutions, and then within days or weeks, we give up.
Do you know there is even a name for this, and it’s called, Quitters Day! Not only do statistics show that only 9% of people who make resolutions on January 1 ever finish them, but a 2019 study by the exercise App, Strava, showed that by the 2nd Friday in January, over 80% of people had thrown in the towel. That was January 12!

Why New Year’s Resolutions Often Fizzle Out...and How to Change That! | |
By Katana Abbott, CFP®
SWE Founder
Ok, most of us have already given up on our New Year’s resolutions, and with good reason. Let’s be frank. The timing is all wrong. This is proven with the statistic that only 9% of those who create NY resolutions ever finish them. Maybe it’s not about us, maybe it’s about the timing.

From Resolutions to Rituals: Mastering the Art of Daily Renewal | |
By Colleen Kilpatrick
SWT Special Guest Host
New Year’s resolutions have a long history, dating back to the ancient Babylonians who made promises to win favor with their gods. The tradition hasn’t lost its appeal in 4000 years. Yet, despite its popularity, the ritual of setting New Year’s resolutions is a better idea in theory than it is in practice, considering 80% of people have dropped their resolutions by February 1.
