New Year’s Resolutions are usually tired, vague, and recycled.
Exercise. Read more. Save money. Travel. These are the staples. But if it’s so simple, why are there so many fat, dumb, poor people who don’t have passports?
Nonetheless, here are mine for 2024:
1. Don’t argue with idiots.
2. Get to know your neighbors better.
3. Throw out or donate everything in your closet that you haven’t worn in a year, albeit with a few exceptions.
4. Exercise every single day, even if it’s just a long walk.
5. Watch the sunrise as often as possible.
6. Try ayahuasca.
7. Use two phones, one without any apps. It dramatically increases productivity.
8. Take a solo vacation.
9. Minimize the consumption of all mainstream media, limited to only basic awareness of what people in echo chambers are digesting.
10. “Read more” is too vague. Start an intimate book club; mine has two people, including me.
11. Write more. Don’t wait for inspiration; force the habit with 1,000 words a day minimum.
12. Take an American road trip.
13. Learn a new skill: Mine is photography with a camera + photo-editing.
14. Expand your knowledge: Mine is learning to effectively use AI to improve my professional efficiency.
15. Minimize consumption of sugar, alcohol, seed oil, processed food, sodium nitrates, factory farmed proteins, and exposure to microplastics.
16. Play a competitive sport: Mine are pickleball and golf.
17. Get a comprehensive medical exam with full blood work and genetic testing in January. Implement the consultation recommendations. Use a medical expert outside the insurance network; they are controlled by Big Pharma.
18. Make the bedroom technology free after 11pm.
19. Be kinder, even when a situation calls for anger or abrasiveness - just not all the time; calling balls and strikes is a moral obligation.
20. Get prepared for social, political, and economic turmoil, even if it is a low probability event. Buy land and guns.
21. Write down short term (daily) and long term goals; cross them off the list once accomplished.
22. Be a better person to a smaller group of close friends. It’s so obvious, but people seem to forget: you can choose your friends.
23. Cook more. Hosting intimate parties is like having your own private bar or restaurant.
24. Shower before bed every night. Decompress mentally, get clean, and sleep better.
25. Go to bed tired; it’s a powerful concept when you think about it.
