Resolved to Be Better

Happy New Year! The fresh slate of a new year inspires most of us to select some (or most) areas in our lives to improve in specific ways. From our position at the intersection of education and performance, we see lots of students looking for better grades and test scores, but, more generally, people aspire to better health, better jobs, better relationships, and better financial situations.

Better does not come easy.

Becoming better than you were in any dimension of your life may be a worthy goal. Staying better–being able to cast aside bad habits and develop new, more adaptive ones–is another thing entirely. How do we get and stay better in just about anything?

Better takes a plan.

Better takes time.

Better takes practice.

Better takes persistence.

Better often takes help.

Whatever your ambitions this year, we wish you luck in the accomplishment for your dearest goals. Let us know how we can help!
