New year's resolutions for the hardware-obsessed

AULD LAN SYNE

The dawning of a fresh year is traditionally a time of introspection and inner growth. A time to nurture one’s inner stoic, take an honest inventory of your failings and unfulfilled ambitions, and to give them form. This is a new year. You haven’t done any of the bad things yet. Alright, it’s still so early in January that you’re using the three available hours of sunlight in the day to prepare a breakfast of leftover chocolates and stuffing, but you’ve got the fire under you. This year, you’re going to do it.

You’re going to do… something or other. What nobody tells you about new year’s resolutions until you’re too old and unmotivated to act on it is that the trickiest part is deciding on an undertaking that’s actually worth committing to. What kind of positive habit or personal growth endeavour takes 12 months to realistically achieve, but remains in the sphere of your possible accomplishments? There’s got to be more to self-improvement than doing deadlifts in Fitness First among Ibiza-like January crowds for the first two weeks of January and then watching 22 untouched direct debits leave your account over the next two years.
