Speaker 1 (00:00):
Please, he's deeper in the din with dangerous day. Did
you make a New Year's resolution this year? And have
you told anybody about it? A poll found forty five
percent of us tell at least one person, so there's
somebody to hold us accountable. The people who did they
need a resolution buddy at that's the term. Most common
person to e tell is our spouse or partner, followed

(00:20):
by our kids and our parents. Siblings and best friends
tied for fourth. Just under half of people who made
a resolution said they picked something realistic, twenty nine percent
said something enjoyable based on past performance. Forty nine percent
of people will still abandon their resolution before we get
to the end of March. A big factor on how
your resolution and how hard it is. According to the poll,

(00:41):
the easiest resolutions to stick to self care was at
number one. Things like spending more time for yourself and
on yourself, paying attention to your work life balance. Organizational
stuff was also in there, things like reducing clutter and
keeping things clean, and fitness goals. A thirty people think
getting in better shape is one of the most achievable
resoluts you can make. Furthering your education was voted one

(01:03):
of the hardest resolutions to see through. Improving your love
life and furthering your career also ranked very low. So
having a resolution, buddy, will help you achieve your resolution.
I'm going to make all of you my resolution, buddy.
My resolution is to not make any more resolutions. Deeper
in the tea. Well, if you're sitting in traffic right now,
this is not going to help your road rage. There's

(01:24):
an annual study found traffic costs the average commuter forty
three hours of their life last year, has more than
a full weeks of work. That's just the extra time
you spent on the road thanks to traffic jams since slowdowns,
of course not too bad here in Greater Grand Forks,
New York was a most congested city in North America.
Second worldwide is denbul was first. Your drivers in New

(01:44):
York said bumper to bumper for one hundred and two
hours last year. In Chicago was ranked just behind them.
Top ten cities with the worst traffic, Los Angeles was
number three, followed by Boston, Philadelphia, Miami, Houston, Atlanta, d C.
And Seattle. Now Denver ranked fifteenth, but it saw the
biggest increase in traffic year over year, with traffic delays
up nineteen percent in Denver compared to twenty twenty three.

(02:07):
I guess you know, traffic isn't too bad in Grand
Forks Greater Grand Forks area. You know, sometimes you get
a little bit of a slowdown, whether it's you know,
depending upon the time of year, a beat truck or
some construction in the summertime. For me, I'm laven for
work before four am, so it's pretty quick, and going
home three pm ish, so that's pretty quick as well.

(02:27):
Let's see about fifteen minutes total there and back every
single day. That's wow, a whole hour and fifteen minutes
a week too. Again for another episode of Deeper in
