No Two Days Should Ever Be The Same

Like many people, New Year's resolutions don't really work for me in the long term. For the past several years I've chosen a word to help keep me on track, but this year nothing spoke to me. Finally, I decided to incorporate a concept.

I've come to realize that so much of my life is doing the same things repeatedly. Each day I perform the same morning routine, and (mostly) eat a very similar lunch. Afternoons have a similar flow, then it's time for dinner. I do much of my computer work on the couch in the evening, either listening to the radio or with the television on as background noise. Then it's time to go to bed so I can start again the next day.

In 2026 I've decided that each day has to include at least one non-repeated activity, which can be silly or serious. I did something similar in 2008-my first blog documented my year of doing a new thing every day. This time, though, I have no expectation that my activities will be worth documenting (although I have no doubt some of them will show up).

Wish me luck!
