I am not one for New Year’s resolutions. Never made them. However, recently I have been quite unhappy with how some aspects of my life have been going. So I decided to make some changes. And now seems like a good time to start as any. So here are my New Year’s Resolutions for 2023. Nothing too ambitious

1. I will try my best to cut down on my Anxiety medication. No set targets, no time bindings, will just do my best without being miserable and see how it goes.
2. I will stop wasting money this year. I will spend money as much as I want, within my means, but will stop wasting like here and here. I have made a comprehensive list of the mistakes and lessons learnt from last year. I will also try to start saving some money. No set goals.
3. I will not consume alcohol except when the occasion calls for it. Not mindlessly when I am getting bored and have nothing else to do.
4. I will listen to music more. Will give new music a chance.
5. I will shave my head for good once I get a SIM card replacement and spend 0 effort or money on my hair. Finished.
6. I will take less sick leaves.
7. I will be more grateful for what I have in life.
8. I will cut toxic people out of my life.
9. I will start reading books again. Again, no set target. Will read as much as I enjoy.
10. I will lower my time on Social Networks – especially Quora and Reddit. Will replace the time mindlessly scrolling these apps with book reading. Will lower my screen time.
11. I will close the rings on my watch at least 6 days a week. Will run at least 4 days a week.
12. I will call my parents, especially my father more.

Let’s see how many I can actually go through with.
