New Year’s Resolutions Are Too Self-Focused — Try This Instead

Most New Year’s resolutions don’t fail because of weak willpower. They fail because they’re aimed at the wrong things.In this episode of NUGGETS, we flip the idea of New Year’s resolutions on its head. Instead of goals, targets, and self-optimisation, we explore what actually sticks: shared experiences, emotional moments, and memories that shape identity over time.We talk about:Why experiences last longer than things (and achievements)How memories shape who you become — personally and as a parentWhy emotional highs and lows matterThe 20-year question: will this still matter decades from now?How to plan stories, not just outcomes, for the year aheadIf you’re tired of resolutions that fade fast, this episode offers a more human, more durable way to think about the year you’re entering.
