The countdown to resolutions

The year has started well, January reminds us of this in the most bitter ways. Let’s take a look at your resolutions from last year, started with the enthusiasm of a beginner in the gym on January 2 – spoiler alert: some of you made an exit as discreet as dieting in front of a box of chocolates. But rest assured, you are not the only ones. After all, if you can stick to a diet until the end of January, surely you can conquer the world until Easter, right?

As the confetti of the new year falls like unfulfilled ambitions, sit down, grab a cup of coffee (or two, because why not?), and ask yourself the crucial question: “2023 resolutions, are Did they go on vacation?

If your resolution was to become a production machine, juggling projects at the speed of light, and your reality looks more like an infinite to-do list, know that the only sprint some of us have done is towards the refrigerator between two tasks. Because let’s be honest, who can resist a snack break?

Let’s do it again

Remember, even if they only survive until February (or March, if you’re the optimistic type), the intention counts. For those wondering if the rest of the world has mastered the art of productivity, don’t panic. You are not alone in looking at your to-do list with suspicion. She must have something under the hood.

The resolve to maximize productivity has often been tested by impromptu naps and series that seem to multiply like rabbits on our screen. But in our defense, exploring the far reaches of the Netflix universe can be considered an intellectual quest, right? At least our general knowledge of series plots is at its peak!

And guess what? You can always start your year in July, August, or even on a rainy Wednesday in November. After all, time is relative, especially when it comes to embarking on new adventures or procrastinating a little more.

If your to-do list looks more like a wish list, congratulations, you’re human. Life is an unpredictable adventure, and sometimes the best plans are the ones that make us laugh when they turn into hilarious episodes of our personal sitcom.

Well, may your resolutions be as flexible as a yoga class, as bold as ordering pizza on a Monday night, and as resilient as your favorite couch after a long day.

Now’s the time to congratulate yourself on your past resolutions, even those that lasted less than a TikTok trend. To all those who proclaim at the start of each year that it is “their year”, perhaps this time it could well be yours. After all, every year that leaves you alive is a year conquered, ephemeral resolutions included. Happy New Year people!
