New Year’s resolutions seem like a mistake to me.
But if they are important to you and you struggle with them, fret not.
Did you know that January 1st is not the first day of the New Year…for everyone?
The Chinese New Year, for example, begins on the new moon of the first lunar month which can be anywhere between January 21st and February 21st on the Gregorian Calendar.1
Another example is the Jason T. Kocher New Year which starts on February 1st of the Gregorian Calendar…this year anyway. So this post is technically still relevant.
Hell! The next Jason T. Kocher New Year may start on February 2nd of this same year of the Gregorian Calendar. You just never know.
Any moment…might be…your next.
So, you’re doing fine.
I mean…you could be doing better…
But you’re doing fine…
And look…tomorrow’s another day…
Unless it isn’t.
I don’t fucking know. What am I? Some kind of fucking Time Scientist or something?2
