Leverage the Fresh Start Effect for Immediate Success
Happy 2026! Today is a great day to harness what behavioral scientists call The Fresh Start Effect. “The fresh start effect works because it aligns with human psychology. This is about working with, rather than against, our basic tendencies. We naturally compartmentalize time according to meaningful experiences, and each new period offers a clean slate on which to write our future. By understanding and intentionally creating specific reset points, we are harnessing our natural inclinations to achieve success.” Today is one of the biggest restart days your customers and prospects will experience. But it is not your only opportunity to use this powerful tactic. This quick article has more details.
