Ah, the holidays. It wouldn't be a real holiday season without some credit card debt, packing on extra pounds, and the tense moment at the family dinner table. My holiday season was filled with all three. (Let's just say I'm shocked at my ability to ignore screaming while eating soup simultaneously.)
So now that I'm back home having successfully dodged a week's worth of "You have to get married before I die!" requests, I have time to think about New Year's resolutions. But I have to do something that I can really stick to. I already exercise a decent amount, so that's out. I can say I won't work late or on the weekends, but I already know that's not possible. So here's what I'm thinking:
Declutter. Learn to throw things out more. Maybe this way my room will also cease to be one large dust ball.
Go to sleep earlier. I'm already breaking this one. But before 1 am is a good start. Maybe I won't be such a walking zombie in the mornings then.
Read more. By that, I mean books that I won't be ashamed to be seen reading on the subway.
Try more new restaurants. That's not hard to do in New York, but might be hard on the pocketbook.
Save more. Hey, at least I'm earning mad interest off the hundred bucks I have in there.
Travel. I haven't been on an international flight for a few years...it's time to risk deep vein thrombosis so I can have some foreign adventures.
More to come...happy new year to all.
