Top 10 New Year’s Resolutions

Every year, many people decide to try to better themselves in the new year. We all come up with a resolution or two (or more) to try to make things better for us as we embark on another trip around the sun. I found a list of the “Top 10 New Year’s Resolutions”…

The website Inc. recently asked 2,000 people about their New Years resolutions and came up with their Top 10 List:

  1. Diet or eat healthier
  2. Exercise more
  3. Lose weight
  4. Save more and spend less
  5. Learn a new skill or hobby
  6. Quit smoking
  7. Read more
  8. Find another job
  9. Drink less alcohol
  10. Spend more time with family and friends

 

So, what are your resolutions? Below is a poll of possible resolutions that you might make for 2017. Select as many as you like and we will see how the readers of the Scott Winters Blog compare to the 2,000 people that were surveyed above:

Of the 60% of us that make New Year’s resolutions, less than 1 out of 10 people will follow through. Women tend to make resolutions about health, while men make resolutions about career and drinking less.

Sadly, over half of us will fail with our resolution before the end of January.

Inc. also put together a better approach to resolutions…10 New Year’s Resolutions That Will Beat Yours. Maybe it is time to replace those same old resolutions with a new list for a more positive you. I like their new approach.

Good luck and Happy New Year!!

I’ve always been the kind of person who notices the things other people overlook — strange roadside attractions, forgotten pieces of history, unusual places, odd trends, and the little things in everyday life that make you stop and say, “Wait... when did that become normal?” That curiosity is really what this blog is all about. I’m especially drawn to the stories hiding in plain sight: a forgotten piece of Michigan history, a roadside attraction you’d never know was there, an old building with a story behind it, or some completely ordinary part of modern life that suddenly seems ridiculous when you think about it for more than five seconds. Some days you’ll find a fascinating history story here. Other days I may take you along on a road trip, dig into something weird from Michigan’s past, share an interesting discovery, or simply rant about something in modern life that makes absolutely no sense. I don’t pretend to have all the answers. I just enjoy asking the questions, digging around for the stories, and sharing the interesting things I find along the way. My goal is simple: Keep looking. Keep learning. And keep things interesting.
