The pressure to “fix your life” in January is called the fresh start effect.
New beginnings help motivation, but progress comes from realistic goals and consistency not pressure.

✨『フレッシュスタート効果』をご存じですか？
心理学では、人は節目を迎えると“新しい自分”を意識し、新しい目標を設定し、行動を起こすモチベーションが高まることが分かっています。
研究では実際に、職場での新しい取り組みやプロジェクトの実行率が上がることも確認されています。
理念を行動に落とし込むのも、こうした節目が絶好のタイミング！
今日9月1日から、どんな一歩を始めましょうか？

Why do we set goals on Mondays, birthdays, or January 1st?
📅 It’s called the Fresh Start Effect:
We’re more motivated after a “temporal landmark” because it feels like a clean slate.

“…spring is a great time to reset, declutter and recalibrate your mind and goals. Research suggests that spring may be one of the best times to start a new habit or make a change. …a phenomenon known as the ‘fresh start effect’.”

Whether you’re in the 40% of people who make #NewYearsResolutions or the 60% who shun them, you likely see the humor in our tendency to pursue goals on an arbitrary date (just because it’s January 1). Here’s a 🧵of my favorite #NewYearsResolution cartoons. #FreshStartEffect

New year, clean slate! Research by BCFG Co-Director @katy_milkman and others found that special calendar milestones—a new year, a new month, or even a new week—increase goal-directed behaviors. How could you harness the #FreshStartEffect tomorrow? youtu.be/lMrrUZrOcp4

It’s almost January 1 so like clockwork (and as described in #HowToChange) I’m getting my annual flood of interview requests about #NewYearsResolutions and the #FreshStartEffect. I’ve set up a makeshift studio for interviews in my parents’ closet since I’m on the road. Not bad?

Wharton Professor Katy Milkman, PhD coined “The Fresh Start Effect” = we are more motivated to adopt new habits on days that feel significant, such as Jan 1st or a milestone b'day. We can make changes any day of the year, but we respond better to specific dates. #FreshStartEffect
