Last week my mother ordered a desk calendar, a diary, a bullet journal, a mindfulness journal, and an intentions planner. Every day, the doorbell rings announcing the arrival of yet another tool intended to help her become more organised, mindful, fit, and … just better, I guess.
Historians say the ancient Babylonians were the first to make New Year’s resolutions about 4,000 years ago. It’s interesting how they no longer exist but their traditions still do. Oh well, maybe they should have spent more time worrying about invaders than making promises to go to the gym every day.
But, for some reason, my parents think I should be more intentional about what I’ll achieve in 2024. Apparently finishing all the levels in Batman: Arkham Asylum doesn’t count. So I’ve been given an intentions planner too. Here are some of the things I hope to achieve.
