2025 is in full swing, and according to Finder, nearly 74% of Aussies have set their sights on picking up a new hobby, shaking up their daily routines, or tackling big goals this year. But as motivation starts to wane, many find themselves slipping back into old habits—especially after ‘Quitter’s Day,’ the infamous mid-January mark when resolutions often get abandoned.
The good news? Research shows it takes just 66 days to form a habit, so making it through February is a crucial step toward long-term success. This year, Luxo Living, Australia’s largest online boutique furniture store, is helping Aussies stay on track by offering practical ways to transform resolutions into lasting habits.
The key? Creating an environment that supports your lifestyle changes. Here are Luxo Living’s top tips to help you stick to the most popular New Year’s resolutions.
Boost Productivity with a Better Work Setup
If you’re working from home and struggling to shake off the post-holiday slump, small changes to your environment can make a big difference. Studies show that a well-designed workspace can increase productivity by 17%, helping you stay focused for longer.
Now might be the time to upgrade that makeshift desk into a proper home office. The Aglaya Adjustable Boucle Swivel Office Chair is designed for comfort and support, making it easier to settle in and power through your to-do list. Its sleek and versatile design blends seamlessly into any space, creating a work environment that’s both practical and inspiring.
Turn Reading Goals into Reality with a Cozy Nook
Many Aussies start the year with the goal of reading more and cutting down on screen time, but by February, the motivation can fade. If you’ve only made it 10 pages into your second book, your reading setup might need a refresh.
A cozy reading nook can transform any corner into a dedicated space for relaxation. The Zamira 151cm Boucle Storage Bench with Throw Pillows is the perfect addition—it’s stylish, space-saving, and designed to encourage longer reading sessions. Add a few candles, a soft blanket, and your favorite books within easy reach to create the ultimate reading retreat. With built-in storage, it also keeps clutter at bay, making it easier to stay on track with your reading goals all year long.
Create a Tidier Home for a Clearer Mind
Decluttering is one of the most common New Year’s resolutions, but for many, keeping an organised home feels like an uphill battle. A clutter-free space can reduce stress and boost productivity, but the key is having smart storage solutions.
The Rowan 3-Tier Cube Storage Display Unit with Doors is a game-changer for anyone looking to conceal mess and regain control of their space. Its sleek design combines display and hidden storage, helping to maintain a tidy and organised home. A great tip? Colour-code your shelves and label storage boxes to create a simple system that makes it easy to keep things in order all year long.
Stay on Track in 2025
Making New Year’s resolutions stick doesn’t have to be overwhelming. With a few strategic changes to your surroundings, you can build habits that last—whether it’s staying productive, reading more, or keeping a clutter-free home.
