In full disclosure, I work for the online MSW degree program, MSW@USC, and worked on this infographic project.


The italicized words above being said, I actually really liked the concept of this one.  I am not one for making resolutions, I prefer to make hard and fast goals.  I don't mean the "I want to be XX in 5 years and ZZ in 10 years," but more like, "I am going to live abroad."  (Check).   "I want to work in music." (Check). "I am going to the gym 4 days a week to get healthy." (Check).   Giving yourself timed goals or tying them to specific numbers too fast is risky.  So I don't do it.

So when I had the chance to figure out how long it took people to flake out on their resolutions I was pretty excited. Needless to say, 22% of people give up after only one week!  Slackers.

Jokes aside, working in community management is fast paced, exciting, time consuming, and could eventually lead to high burnout rates.  It's important for community managers to take time off (as I wrote about recently on TheCommunityManager.com), and to have lives outside of the internet and their online (/offline) communities.
