You are 42 per cent more likely to achieve your goals if you write them down.
The bad news? It is likely that your New Year's resolutions might not pan out the way you planned, if at all.
While 60 per cent of people abandon their resolutions within six months, 25 per cent of people abandon them within a mere 7 days. Now, this is happening to even me, so am not left out.
