The whole concept of New Year’s resolutions is problematic. It’s a racket drummed up by diet apps, gyms, and magazines as a way to part you from your money. It’s morning TV filler. It’s slogans and ultimately self esteem killers.

That said, I have some ideas for you!

We made some major lifestyle changes during Covid, because we were stuck at home for so long. And some of those changes were keepers — the five day menu, outdoor exercise, selling things on the Internet, and weekend adventures. No money involved! Super healthy! And with planning and routine, they save time, too.

My resolution this year is to not slip back to old ways and to maintain those habits. Few writing obligations this week, so I’ll do one blog post a day about these lifestyle choices.

Picture: April 7, 2020. I had to learn how to do large grocery shopping once a week.
