Excerpt:

More than a week after New Year’s Eve, we are entering the danger zone when millions of people who resolved to quit smoking, or start working out, or begin dieting or keep their houses neat, start lapsing into old habits.   They figure one cigarette won’t kill them, waiting an extra day to get to the gym is no big deal, or they can tidy up in the morning, instead of before bed. I’ve made my share of New Year’s resolutions that I have not followed through with, and I’m a psychiatrist who should be able to harness motivation more reliably.  So, I know how challenging it is to keep it going strong. This year, I stumbled on a very simple cognitive tool to help me.  Maybe it can help you, too. 1.
