Easy to make, easier to break. What are the most common new year's resolutions Australians make, and how do you make them stick?

We think about what goals and milestones we want to achieve.And we go back to doing exactly the same things.

"If you've managed to stick to your new year's resolutions — well done. You're in the minority," Dr Lukins told ABC News.What we find is that people think about their resolutions, but they don't actually create a plan and realistic steps to achieving them," she said.Before making a new year's resolution, 'audit yourself'"Before you even set yourself a goal, you need to consider why you're not currently working towards it.

"For some, that could still be January 1. But for others, they might need to plan well in advance and choose a month later in the year."Professor Kulkarni says when people set themselves unattainable goals too quickly into the new year, they find themselves enveloped in self-doubt.

More Australians are travelling domestically ‘than ever before’Flight Centre’s Greg Parker says demand for domestic flights “has changed a lot this year” due to the ease of flying domestically in Australia. “It’s obviously a lot easier to fly domestically in this country than it is internationally,” he told Sky News Australia. “More customers are travelling domestically than ever before.” What a genius! That's an image of the International Terminal you're using in a story about domestic travel, btw. How long before individual carbon tracking through digital currencies means that flying is beyond the reach of all but the super rich? ClimateEmergency

Australians to welcome Djokovic back into Australia as a ‘champion’Institute of Public Affairs’ John Roskam says he thinks Australians will welcome tennis star Novak Djokovic back into the country as a “champion” who “spoke for people around the world”. Djokovic’s visa was cancelled 12 months ago following a legal battle over his vaccination status when he arrived in the country for the Australian Open. The former world number one has since touched down in Australia after being granted entry into the country for the 2023 tournament. Mr Roskam said there will likely be a “divided crowd” in Melbourne. “It was a time when there was no free debate, when there was no discussion,” he told Sky News host Rita Panahi. “It was a very difficult time for Australians and he was able to say something that many Australians didn’t feel they could talk about.” Legend who didn't buckle. Absolutely 👌 I think most will welcome him as a champion who thought only of himself.

‘Very easy’ to ‘blame’ Meghan Markle for everythingRoyal biographer Katie Nicholl says Prince Harry was 'just as much behind' the Sussexes' exit from the Royal Family as his wife Meghan. Ms Nicholl told GB News' Cameron Walker the prince had been 'looking for a way out for some time' and his wife Meghan was a catalyst to his decision to step back. Their allowance from the public purse is also terminated, one would expect? The British brilliantly transformed their medieval monarchy into a constitutional democracy for the 21st century. Seamlessly integrating commoners into the royal family with a proper balance of duty and privacy? Not so much. Planned a long time ago. Imagine if Meghan didn't work, he had a list of others he was to pursue. Enjoy the show peasants.
