New Year = New You
I see it in many places… people on socials get excited with the new year, resolutions, promises, etc,. But does it really matter when you start a new chapter in your life? Is one month better than the other? How about instead of focusing on a new chapter, we would focus on making today better than yesterday?
A new chapter to me brings the meaning of leaving everything behind. All the achievements and lessons of the past. But how about focusing on improvement and staying curious instead of restarting from scratch every single year?
I, currently, personally, feel fed up with the way we think about the year, months, and weeks. Monthly views leave me lost halfway through. Yearly view is messy with different start and end days of the month. I am currently experimenting with a weekly breakdown of the year.
It’s nothing new or revolutionary. It’s just easier on my eyes to see where each week begins and ends. As schools and extra curricular activities are mainly organised on weekdays, it gets quite repetitive across the weeks of the year.
How do you keep up with the time passing. Do you like to see the year at a glace? If so, do you look at it in a monthly view or do you zoom in a go on week by week basis? Let me know in the comments below.
