CEOs reveal their New Year's resolutions for 2026: From 8-day bike races and AI training, to finally cracking 7 hours of sleep a night | Fortune
"I'm an obsessive planner in that I set specific new goals for friends/family, my profession (CEO or Virta), personal health, and adventures I want to do. Next year, I'm doing an 8-day mountain biking stage race in South Africa with a partner. For personal 'health,' I might also add a short meditation retreat-meditation is something I've found very helpful since 2013."
"On a personal level, I'm an avid walker. I love walking and try to walk as much as I can. So, for me, one New Year's resolution I am really trying to stay strong on is walking at least 20,000 steps per day. Some days that is more accomplishable than others, but that is something as we head into the new year that I will be trying to conquer every day."
CEOs are setting New Year's resolutions for 2026 that blend professional ambitions with personal growth. Goals span endurance events such as an eight-day mountain biking stage race in South Africa, daily health practices including short meditation retreats and walking 20,000 steps per day, and improved sleep targets. Some leaders aim to accelerate their companies' positions in artificial intelligence and to revive family traditions from childhood. Resolutions include measurable habits, adventurous objectives, and skill development. Many goals emphasize work-life balance, physical fitness, mental health, and strategic business priorities for the coming year.
