Martin Kaye used to make New Year Resolutions and set goals at the start of each year.

Eventually he turned to science in order to learn the reasons for this, as well has what really works.
The first thing he learned was that in order to succeed, he had to treat his New Year's Resolutions as a Goal. Jotting something down on a napkin five minutes before the stroke of midnight, doesn't cut it.

For every problem that is muddled by over-complexity, a dozen are muddled by over-simplifying

The obvious downside of this was that it wasn’t really possible to verify whether the advice that was given was good or not. It could seem to make sense, and people would apply it, but in actuality the method could have severe flaws. Or, the advice could be 100% correct, but it would seem counterintuitive to many - not feel right
