Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a scientific prediction?
No — it's a lighthearted estimate inspired by general behavior-change research trends (like the value of specificity and accountability), meant for fun and reflection, not a clinical or guaranteed forecast.
What actually improves real odds of success?
Studies on habit change generally point to specific measurable goals, social accountability, and starting small as the biggest levers — which is why this calculator weights those factors.
Can I retake this throughout the year?
Yes, many people revisit it in February or June to see how their habits and motivation have shifted.
