What is your moral plan for 2021?

Setting goals works better, especially if the goals are incremental, steps along a path.

Many people make New Year’s resolutions. The most common ones , at least in the United States, are to exercise more, eat healthier, save money, lose weight, or reduce stress. Some may resolve to be better to a particular person—not to criticise their partner, to visit their ageing grandmother more often, or to be a better friend to someone close to them. Yet few people—just 12 percent, according to one US study —resolve to become a better person in general, meaning better in a moral sense.
