January 19 Post Reports: The trick to making New Year’s resolutions stick
You can read today’s edition of The 7 newsletter here. While The 7 podcast takes a break today, we wanted to share this episode from Post Reports about New Year's resolutions.
Go to sleep earlier. Read more books. Eat better. Exercise.
Changing our behavior is hard, but what if some simple – and dare we say fun – tricks could help us keep our resolutions for the new year?
From temptation bundling to buddying up, Optimist reporter Maggie Penman shares the science on how to make your New Year’s resolutions, whatever they are, stick in 2026. Plus, on the eve of national “Quitters Day,” we explore why making resolutions can actually be beneficial – even if you don’t stick to them perfectly.
Today’s show was produced by Elana Gordon. It was edited by Dennis Funk and mixed by Sam Bair. Thanks to Allison Klein and Theresa Tamkins.
