Breaking or forming habits is challenging and isn’t easier just because it’s January 1. Michael J. López, a consultant and career coach, advises focusing on one manageable goal at a time to increase success chances. He recommends committing to this single goal for three months before adding new ones. People often underestimate the difficulty of adopting new habits, leading to frustration and potential failure. Visualization can help, but it doesn’t replace the effort needed for change. By focusing on one goal first, individuals can better manage the transition before tackling additional objectives.
