Is there anything you're holding on to, or waiting to begin Jan 1st?

I do.  At least I plan to start recording calories.  I have a journal covers 60 days.  I'm doing it already, but have a new book, to kick off the new year with.  By then I'll know more on how I want to use it for recording.

 

How about you?  Is Jan 1 a new start off on something you are looking forward to do?  There are only a few days to go, if you think you might want to start a new habit.....or get back to something you've wanted to do.

Most peeps wait till the New Year to diet. One of the reasons for the TSV today.

Hi @qualitygal 

 

I usually don't wait to start a new habit.   I feel like if I put it off, then I won't do it.  But I do have a goal to use all the pages in my journal by the end of the year.  So I can start a new one in January.

Not me, if there's anything I need to start or change, there's no time like the present.

 

After all, it's really just another day.

No. If I feel that I want or need to make a change, I do it. IMHO, putting it off until a certain day/date on the calendar is nothing but procrastination and rarely results in the change actually happening.

I plan to keep better track of my money/spending next year.  I have figured out how to use my planner to do some recording of payments, etc.  I need paper and pen, not my computer or phone to do it.  I know there are apps and programs out there, but putting pen to paper will work better for me.

A local church will be offering "learn to crochet" classes starting in January.  I know how to knit but would also like to crochet.

No--will continue on as usual. The same things will start over in the new year like Social Security and deductions for this and that. Money is always an issue---for everyone!

Waiting to begin a new habit is already your first excuse for failure.  Why wait?

 

It sounds like you want to drop a few pounds or eat healthier.  There is no time like the present.

 

Good luck with your plan!

No.  I made a couple of positive lifestyle changes in the Fall.
