If you're like most Americans, you've already set all manner of goals and resolutions for the New Year. And likewise, if you're like most Americans, you'll have entirely abandoned them by February 1. Studies have found that 23% of people quit their New Year's resolutions within a week, and almost half drop them by the end of January.
