In case you’re looking for inspiration, I made some sample 2021 resolutions:
- Finally remember the password to that one bank account. Consider checking the balance.
- Reduce the house plant death count (Story time: I think I killed four of mine in 2020. Two orchids I basically ripped apart with some flush of Hulk strength while trying to water them, and this is especially sad as I was watching them for a friend (sorry Elizabeth); and the spider plant and the Bolivian Wandering Jew decided they had been miserable for long enough and I clearly didn’t understand their needs, maybe I didn’t even want to understand their needs, and they were finally going. So this year my plan is to kill three or fewer.)
- Meditate without playing Sudoku
- Read that book you have been meaning to since you borrowed it from a friend in 2009
- Follow your laundry’s care instructions
- Get the vaccine
- Eat more soup
- Eat less soup
- Brush teeth before noon
- Stop reading the comments
- Unpack that one box of random stuff from the last time(s) you moved
Hopefully those give you something to work with!
In seriousness, here’s what I plan for 2021:
- Do one thing at a time
- Speed up 5k running pace by 2 minutes per mile
- Journal by hand 5 times a week
- Keep writing Book Three
What are your intentions for this new year?
