A great hockey player scores 20 goals in a season. How do I know this? He made a $1 million sale in only 12 minutes. So assuming he works a 50 hour week, that is a billion dollars in a month. The average play lasts less than 2 minutes. So a great hockey player is only productive for 40 minutes per year.

I, of course, love any time for setting goals so still intend to set them. Partly this is in setting realistic goals. The valid point 1% makes is failing at resolutions can start a downward spiral and a loss of self esteem. And willpower is limited. This is a point Chip and Dan Heath make in their book Switch. 1% is realistic.
