Keep, Toss, Improve

Happy New Year.

An opportunity to wipe the slate clean and start over. A new journal. A new workout plan. A new you.

Or does it have to be so dramatic?

Researchers say about 60% of people make New Year resolutions. Only 8% are successful in achieving them.

I’m generally one of those people. The new year for me is like a whiteboard, erasing the previous year and drawing up a new, ideal plan for the year ahead.

This year, I will be less dramatic and focus on the daily practice.

Which means I won’t erase the entire board. I will keep things on that board into 2021, like chocolate chip cookies.

Some things I’ll toss and some things I’ll improve.

I didn’t get a new journal for 2021. I continued from the day before. Why waste 80 pages in my Leuchtturn1917 so I can neatly label it 2020 rather than 2021?

Based on today, and not the next 365 days, what would you like to keep, toss, OR improve?
