Why do New Year’s resolutions fail? We explore Dr. Anderson’s insights on abandoning the “all or nothing” mentality and overcoming the sunk cost fallacy. Instead of rigid resolutions, embrace a philosophy of continuous improvement by setting SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) goals. Learn to leverage the time risk paradox: the longer your investment horizon, the greater potential for growth. Implement ruthless automation to streamline finances and reduce reliance on willpower. Financial success is a marathon; focus on small, consistent actions and view setbacks as feedback, not failure.
