What resolutions are people in Maldon making for 2022?

In this two-minute read, we look at what are the most popular New Year’s resolutions and, more importantly, how to stick to the ones you make.

According to data analytics firm YouGov, at the end of 2020, around a fifth of the adult population in the UK made New Year’s resolutions.

And this year promises to be no different as some of us vow to make a positive change to our lives in 2022.

YouGov states that women (23%) are more likely to make New Year’s resolutions than men (15%).

The ten most popular things people want to tackle are, in no particular order:

  • Losing weight
  • Saving more money
  • Exercising more
  • Improving their diet
  • Spending less time on social media
  • Decorating or renovating their home
  • Taking up a new hobby
  • Changing career
  • Volunteering
  • Cutting down drinking alcohol
 
How to stick to your resolutions
Making resolutions is one thing, but what are the best ways to make sure you stick to them? Especially when you consider that 66% of resolutions are broken within one month, and just 12% of us feel the resolutions we made were a success.

Here are five ways to keep those positive promises to yourself, as recommended by several leading life coaches, including Tony Robbins.

1)     Focus on one resolution.
2)     Take time to create an action plan.
3)     Remember, it’s a marathon, not a sprint.
4)     One failure isn’t fatal. Keep going.
5)     Enlist the help of friends and family.

April is a good time for buyers to focus on readiness rather than guesswork. In a market where choice has improved but confidence remains mixed, being organised can make all the difference when the right home comes along.

As we move through May 2026, buyers are seeing more homes come to market, but affordability still matters. Here is what today’s mix of greater choice, steady demand and higher mortgage costs means if you are planning a move.
