Katy Milkman, a renowned expert in this field, has extensively studied and written about the fresh start effect. Some examples of fresh starts include the beginning of a new year, the start of a new job, or even moving to a new city.
Perhaps you’ve been trying to break into the world of analytics for some time now but missed out on earlier opportunities.
