Pulse check. Are we still doing New Year’s resolutions? I have always done them but realizing honestly I don’t have to but also I like the idea of fresh start and setting intentions. Curious if other are feeling the same?

I always do them just because I consider them a nice tradition. It actually goes back to the ancient Babylonians, it may be the oldest tradition humans still follow. I like the idea of a season of renewal and a focus on improving myself, so I always come up with a few things to work on. This year it's more books to read, some miles to walk, and some pounds to lose.

Had no idea about the history of it! Thank you!

I’m doing one and I usually do one just to help myself work with a goal

I don’t usually have issues sticking with things it’s more of getting the motivation to set something for me

Yeah I know it’s more common the other way around. I still don’t get things done 🤣
I am tenacious on the things I actually start on though… just lazy about actually setting the target

I never do New Year's resolutions. I have always been someone who sets and meets goals throughout the year instead of just once a year. I feel like doing them once a year sets me up for failure.

Totally! How often are you setting them or is it just when you feel like new ones are needed?

I don’t necessarily have a resolution but always have goals I want to reach

I feel like every company lies about “working your way up.” You’re never allowed to blatantly say that you don’t like your position and you’d like to transition to HR or Finance. It’s almost as if once you get in claims, you’re stuck.

If you’re a manager and you see an employee that wants to branch out into a different department, why would you keep them boxed in for 2+ years?

Are there some background mechanics that I’m missing?
