24 New Ideas for a New Year
New things to try that you probably never thought of…
In my last post, I was encouraging myself, and others, to try some new things in life, to shake up old routines, to throw a metaphorical can of beans into the fire of life.
I had a notion to list a whole bunch of “new” things to try, but I thought, “Ah, heck, the internet is full of ‘new crap to try’ posts.”
Speaking of which, I found a post of “new crap to try” on Good Housekeeping. I thought I would summarize those thoughts. But, I added a few ideas of my own to mix things up a bit. I tried to add a touch of humor here. Maybe you can tell my suggestions from those of Good Housekeeping. I’ll keep my naughty little fingers crossed. (Also I have a serious list at the end of this post. :-)
The combined Max-Housekeeping-all-for-fun list:
lose some weight,
gain some weight,
cook something new,
drink less,
drink more,
start a weekly meal plan,
quit smoking,
join a club,
