How have you started the new year differently?

As we are in the very beginning of a new year, I have been thinking a lot on doing things differently. A random list of things I am trying:

• using a sunrise simulation app instead of an alarm clock

• playing with a social media scheduler

• listening to a young YouTuber about his creative process and thinking about what would be useful to adopt myself

• evaluating my side hustle business model

• discussing with my family how to best structure the evenings now that we are a household of grown adults - dinner, dishes, diversions (going to the gym, reading, screens, individual hobbies, time with friends)

• making my bed first thing

• journaling at night

• discussing with my husband our morning routine and how it impacts us when we are less than disciplined about it all

I may use this list for future posts. I may not. I am experimenting.

I thought my word for this year is Courage, perhaps a better word is Curious.
