New Year’s resolutions are tough to maintain because most of the time we set some pretty lofty goals under the influence of large amounts of alcohol and an insatiable appetite to make 2021 better than 2020.

Every person that’s cool seems to be associated with a book club. Okay, not really, but they should. It may sound like a cliché, but reading really does make you smarter, more interesting, and literate. It’s never too late to form a habit, and there’s no better habit than this. Instead of worrying over the amount of books you’re reading, try setting aside a few minutes or half hour every day for reading; anytime works, before bedtime, while commuting, or in a coffee shop somewhere.
Be Punctual
Punctuality is something that’ll improve many aspects of your life, both personal and work related. Being punctual will also help you organize your outings, your work life, and it’ll also make life easier for everyone that surrounds you.
Do What You Love
You should never feel bad about enjoying yourself, so find time to do the things you’re passionate about and that make you happy. This will also help you find balance in your life, making your work much more bearable. Yes, you have to work, but if you’re organized enough you can also do whatever it is that you’re itching to do.
