New Year, New Me as the saying goes. As New Year comes most of us want to clean their shoes, give themselves new chances and challenges: we make resolutions. Making resolutions can be a wonderful way to set goals, improve and push ourselves to achieve more and be better in the upcoming year. We tend to take a look at the year behind us and we are all ready to sail into the new year with hopes and fresh beginnings.
However, if we look deeply into ourselves, put your hands up high if you ever fulfilled any resolutions and kept them throughout the whole year. No hands? Only a few? In most cases, we give up on our resolutions because the goal is either too high, too undetermined or simply because we like to procrastinate. As a result of this, the already set-up resolutions become a part of our distant memory and we finally end up saying “maybe next year” (which obviously means never or in our next lives).
But what if we have always looked at the wrong side of the cube? In the following guide, we collected the 5 most achievable resolutions for procrastinator that won’t fail in 2019 .
1. Chocolate for precious days of the week
Amongst the most common promises for the new year, we can find losing weight and getting the dreamed body shape. Forget about this and simply swear on pampering yourself with a bar of chocolate at least twice a week: for being brave enough to start the week and finish it (and to make it through). Want some change time to time to keep things beautiful? Choose different flavours, shapes or portions.
2. Cat videos to chill the brain and be less productive
Did you plan to spend less time in front of your computer and do something productive? Before jumping into this wild commitment, let’s just promise it: watch cat videos when your brain really needs some chill time: before studying, after studying, while studying. Just to feel more rewarded for the hard work. In case you are getting bored of cat videos or you have already watched most of them, feel free to change to puppy videos or funny animal shootings.
3. Netflix as a “new” hobby
Planning to take up a new hobby to start the new year in a fresh and productive way? Why not join in the Netflix-universe? You already own a forever-membership of Netflix? No problem.
