I’m a fan of motivational books, and one of the mantras that appears in several such books is “Make today better than yesterday”, or put another way, “make tomorrow better than today”.
So today being New Year’s Day, I thought I would give it a shot.
To make it easy on myself, I did absolutely nothing today. I never left the house, never put on my shoes, and in fact, rarely left the couch.
So it shouldn’t be too hard to make tomorrow a better day.
My plan is to at least open the front door and look outside.
And the day after that, I may put one shoe on.
Baby steps…

I like the cut of your jib. Though I would argue that doing less and less might be a more effective way to make tomorrow better than today.

Perhaps he shouldn’t eat for it takes energy to eat! He shouldn’t open a can of beer either, way too much energy needed for that!

Eating is needed, to have energy for napping. Beer is poison.

Since when do you need energy for nipping?? I knew I could get you to agree with me about Beer, can’t waste his energy on poison. 😉

I don’t doubt it. It’s a tasty poison that lures its victims in, while slowly destroying their brain cells and impairing their judgment.

Maybe by the end of the week, you’ll be showering.🤣 I’m sure some of those books are quite good and written by honest folks, but I also think others try to tap into people’s sensitive areas (e.g., weight loss, money management, relationships.)

I agree with Beth. You may want to slow your roll young guy. Let’s start with thinking about doing something, before we start running around just doing stuff all willy nilly… This hit home as I don’t think I left the couch much yesterday either!

You’re going to need to conserve your energy for when you try opening the front door: I’d advise not wasting it by picking up any more of those books – they’re written by charlatans!
