#94 - Consistency Beats Intensity: Why Most New Year’s Resolutions Don’t Last with Podge O Connor

#94 - Consistency Beats Intensity: Why Most New Year’s Resolutions Don’t Last with Podge O Connor

Every January, we promise ourselves that this will be the year everything changes. New routines. Bigger goals. More discipline. But a few weeks later, motivation fades, life gets busy, and we fall back into the same cycle.

In this episode, The Podgecast breaks down why New Year’s resolutions so often fail, not because of laziness or lack of willpower, but because we rely too heavily on intensity instead of consistency.

You’ll learn:

👉Why motivation spikes in January and why it always fades.👉The psychology behind all-or-nothing thinking and burnout.

👉How intensity damages self-trust and how consistency rebuilds it.

👉Practical ways to create habits that actually survive real life.

👉What sustainable change really looks like in health, work, and mindset.

This isn’t about pushing harder or becoming more disciplined. It’s about learning how to work with yourself, not against yourself and building change that lasts.
