Kick off the New Year with a fresh perspective and learn how to make your resolutions stick using insights from Google Trends. This article explores popular search trends related to self-improvement, decluttering, and goal setting, offering practical tips for a successful 2025.
The clock strikes midnight, the confetti flies, and suddenly, we’re all filled with hope, resolutions, and the promise of a fresh start. But before you scribble down “go to the gym every day” on your list of resolutions, there’s something you should know. Google Trends confirms that Atomic Habits by James Clear is still the reigning champ of self-help books, peaking every January like clockwork.
It’s a clear sign (pun intended) that we’re all searching for better ways to stick to those elusive habits. If you’ve ever wondered “What is a habit loop?” (this week’s most searched question on Google), it’s the cycle of cue, routine, and reward that governs our behavior. Understanding this loop is your cheat code to change. Try “habit reversal therapy,” December’s breakout search, to replace bad habits with positive ones. Stack new habits on top of existing routines, as Clear suggests. For example, after brushing your teeth, spend 2 minutes journaling or planning your day. Out with the old and in with the new. Start with your closet—if you haven’t worn it in a year, it’s time to let it go. Donating clothes not only lightens your load but also helps others kick off their year in style. Tackling subscriptions is the digital equivalent of decluttering. Use apps to identify and cancel those you barely use (looking at you, random streaming service). Every January and September, goal-setting theory sees a spike in Google searches.
