"Questolutions": A Simple Way to Make Your New Year's Resolutions Stick
RESOLUTIONS ARE
A BIT LIKE A
MOTHER-IN-LAW	
  
IN FACT
BUT (AS WE ALL KNOW)
WELL-MEANING...
BUT OVERLY DEMANDING.
IMPOSSIBLE TO SATISFY.
OPPRESSIVE.	
  
RESOLUTIONS SET US UP
FOR
FAILURE	
  
"Questolutions": A Simple Way to Make Your New Year's Resolutions Stick
WHERE ARE YOUR
RESOLUTIONS GOING TO
END UP?	
  
AND SO I PRESENT, FOR
YOUR CONSIDERATION . . .	
  
THE 
QUESTOLUTION	
  
WHAT ON EARTH COULD IT BE?	
  
A QUESTOLUTION =
A RESOLUTION	
  
PUT IN THE FORM
OF A QUESTION
"Questolutions": A Simple Way to Make Your New Year's Resolutions Stick
QUESTOLUTION:
HOW MIGHT I	
  
GET IN BETTER
SHAPE THIS YEAR?
RECENT STUDIES
SHOW
WE’RE
ACTUALLY
MORE MOTIVATED
TO ACT IF . . .	
  
. . .WE ASK OURSELVES
QUESTIONS	
  
INSTEAD OF GIVING
OURSELVES
COMMANDS	
  
BUT WHY?
QUESTIONS ARE MORE
ENGAGING
THAN STATEMENTS

"Questolutions": A Simple Way to Make Your New Year's Resolutions Stick
YOU ALMOST CAN’T HELP
TAPPING INTO YOUR
IMAGINATION &
CREATIVITY. . .
. . . AS YOU TRY TO
MAKE A DIFFICULT
CHALLENGE
MORE “DOABLE.”
. . . AS YOU	
  
QUESTIONS ARE MORE
SHAREABLE
Questolution Advantage #3
NOBODY
WANTS TO HEAR
PROCLAMATIONS
YOUR
PREDICTIONS
OR
"Questolutions": A Simple Way to Make Your New Year's Resolutions Stick

"Questolutions": A Simple Way to Make Your New Year's Resolutions Stick
"Questolutions": A Simple Way to Make Your New Year's Resolutions Stick
HERE’S
ABOUT QUESTOLUTIONS
ONE MORE GOOD
THING
. . .
QUESTIONS ARE
LESS INTIMIDATING
THAN RESOLUTIONS
Questolution Advantage #4
PASS / FAIL TEST
A RESOLUTION IS LIKE A 
(THAT WE USUALLY FAIL)
A QUESTOLUTION
IS MORE OF AN
OPEN-ENDED
EXPLORATION
"Questolutions": A Simple Way to Make Your New Year's Resolutions Stick
"Questolutions": A Simple Way to Make Your New Year's Resolutions Stick
AND
"Questolutions": A Simple Way to Make Your New Year's Resolutions Stick

QUESTOLUTIONS
"Questolutions": A Simple Way to Make Your New Year's Resolutions Stick
