The little online New Years Party 2024

I’m not sure what I’m doing today, so I’m starting an online party. There’s no games or prizes. We can chat about what you are doing and what your plans are for the new year etc. We can ring in 2024 together for everyone’s time zone. Happy New Year!!

I have decided to stop drinking in 2024. I don’t see anyone all year except when my best friend comes down. Should be easy…I usually don’t drink except for twice a year anyways…but for now…nope, no drinking.

Today, I’m going to read more of Four Thousand Weeks; Time Management for Mortals. It’s a brilliant book and the author is now one of my favourite contemporary philosophers. I’m super impressed with how down to Earth he is about life. (I’m half-way through the book, so there’s plenty more to read and I have a better idea how to spend my time.)

Is anyone else reading anything today?

I did a lot of organizing yesterday. I also cleaned a bit too, and I ate so much I felt really sick by evening. Oops!

New Year’s Day starts at 12 am tonight. It’s only 9 am right now, on New Year’s Eve. I put all my new goals on a book mark which I’ll stick in my planner and review every week, or maybe even every day.

What you’re readings reminds me of something along the lines of learning to form new habits because of how many weeks it takes to form habits and things like that

I’ve got a book called Atomic Habits. It’s a good book about habits. The book, Four Thousand Weeks, is a bit different. If you read the back on Amazon, you’ll see it takes a different angle. It’s refreshing to realize that I don’t have to pack as much as I can into each day. In the work force, this only leads to more work being given to the person who does work the most efficiently :slight_smile:

It goes into depth about how we came to feel like we have to use our down time to do something useful for our future, so we’re never really taking time off at all. He’s all about living more in the now.

So far my day has included a nap, several coffees, watching Sam and keeping updated on what my mother is doing. She couldn’t make it out for the afternoon. It is possible she may come out later. If not, I’ll be doing more of the same.

I didn’t sleep at all last night during the night. Didn’t feel like going to bed. I slept a bit this morning though.

I made the decision not to drink alcohol anymore as I get nothing out of it due to AP’s. Pointless. I don’t do weed either.

Don’t think I’ll stay up for New Year’s. I’ll be too tired tonight for sure.

I just woke up, it’s 9:30 in the morning and it’s -21 F, so too cold to do anything outside. I’m going to watch football all day, and my only New Year’s resolution is to maintain my weight loss and get to my target weight of 155. I guess I’ll also stay quit of cigarettes and vaping (going on 3 weeks there).
Everybody, I hope the New Year brings stability and good fortune to you and yours!

My new years goal is to be more frugal. I kinda did well on that today as I ate at home. I gotta clean my dads office later. I’ve been considering quitting drinking completely. I hardly drink. I did a few nights ago with a friend and paid for it. It doesn’t do much to me and it messes me up for a couple days afterwards. I actually slept enough last night so feeling pretty good. Maybe gonna wash some clothes later. Wearing fun Christmas socks. Contacts hopefully come in tomorrow.

I’m lying on the floor in the living room, so that I can charge my phone at the same time.

I’m just relaxing. I will make soup in a moment for my solo party.

Hope everyone has a good night.

I’ll bring the cats. It ain’t no party without cats.
