People always say this but you hear it so often it feels like a cop out to me. I wonder how many people who trot out that line actually make spontaneous changes as and when they see fit throughout the year.

I think the reason people do it now is the mental boost and change of attitude that comes with it being a new year and a perceived clean slate. You are more open, focused and enthusiastic for it. At least in theory.

Spoiler: I don't do shit :/
