The Planning Fallacy and Resolutions

As we step into 2024, let’s talk about a common bias we fall into when setting our resolutions – the “Planning Fallacy.” 📉

The Planning Fallacy is our tendency to underestimate the time, costs, and risks of future actions while overestimating the benefits. 🙇🏽‍♂️It’s why we often set ambitious goals for the year ahead, only to struggle with follow-through. 😼 So, what can we do differently this year?

  1. Don’t abandon your dreams! Things take longer than we expect and can therefore sometimes feel impossible. Instead of setting overly optimistic resolutions, take a moment to assess your past experiences and set achievable, incremental goals.
  2. Break it Down; Divide your resolutions into smaller, manageable steps. This way, you’re less likely to get overwhelmed and more likely to stay on track.
  3. Monitor your progress; Use a journal or app to track your progress regularly. Celebrate small wins to stay motivated.
  4. You may be the kind of person who likes to keep your goals private. Consider sharing your resolutions with a friend or family member who can keep you accountable.
  5. Adapt; If you stumble, don’t give up! Learn from setbacks and adjust your plan as needed. Remember, it’s not about making resolutions and forgetting them by February. It’s about creating sustainable, long-lasting change.
