Quote:
Jan. 24 is the worst day of the year, with bad weather, debt, fading Christmas memories, failed resolutions and a lack of motivation combining to depress people.
This is the contention of Cliff Arnalls, a part-time university tutor in Wales.
According to Dr. Arnalls' equation, misery peaks next Monday, Jan. 24, a month after Christmas.

And the magic formula is:
1/8W+(D-d) 3/8xTQ MxNA.
Where: W: Weather D: Debt d: Money due in January pay T: Time since Christmas Q: Time since failed quit attempt M: General motivational levels NA: The need to take action
Throw in a variable for the date of NHL cancellation and I'm set.... Interesting to see a "quit attempt" variable for the smokers out there.
