Why do we resolve to make changes on New Year’s Eve instead of before the end of the year?

The average person gives up on their New Year’s resolution by February 1 — 68% say sooner than that.

New Year’s resolutions should be made before Thanksgiving so there are at least 30 days to change the habit and achieve the result.

Then at New Year’s you can celebrate accomplishing your goal with 12 full months ahead to enjoy the intended benefits and zero likelihood of giving up on it before January 1^st.
