#559: Forget New Year’s Resolutions and Conduct a ‘Past Year Review’ Instead

Welcome to another episode of The Tim Ferriss Show, where it is usually my job to deconstruct world-class performers to tease out the routines, habits, et cetera that you can apply to your own life.

This is a special episode, and it is about how I approach New Year’s resolutions.

The truth is that I no longer approach them at all, even though I did for decades. Why the change? I have found “past year reviews” (PYR) more informed, valuable, and actionable than half-blindly looking forward with broad resolutions. This episode outlines the step-by-step process.

If you try it, let me know how it goes.

Good luck and godspeed, everyone.
