“From Couch to Comedian: Discover the Most Hilarious New Year’s Resolutions You’ll Actually Want to Keep!”
Learn Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” dance by Halloween
The choreography to Michael Jackson’s hit 1984 song “Thriller” is perhaps one of the most well-known dances in pop culture.
Why not take a shot at recreating the iconic zombie dance scene from the music video with friends and family this Halloween? Who knows, you might even end up becoming viral on TikTok!
Use all the vegetables you buy before they start going bad
You buy vegetables because they’re healthy, but unlike frozen vegetables, they don’t last very long.
This year, take a proactive approach by planning what you need before buying too much. Regularly check up to see what’s starting to go bad, and build a meal around that vegetable. Depending on what you have, you can also make smoothies or sauces to use in other dishes!
Remember people’s names
The new year is the time to stop using the excuse that you’re bad at remembering names and instead take a proactive approach to remembering the names of new people you encounter.
As soon as someone tells you their name, repeat it to them, and even if you do forget their name, ask them to repeat it; no harm done!
Take more naps
Remember naps? That activity you used to hate as a child and now crave every waking moment of your life? Why not aim to have more of them in the new year?
While napping has pros and cons, even taking a quick 15-minute power nap can do wonders for your memory and reduce fatigue for the rest of the day.
Sew a sequin onto every piece of clothing you own
Who doesn’t love a sequin? They add a fun splash of color and sequin; even adding one can be an exciting endeavor.
As sequins are inexpensive, adding just one to your clothes isn’t hard. And you’ll be the only one who knows where the sequin is, and you can add them to your shoes!
Start a new tradition
Every major tradition that exists now was once something new and exciting. Whether religious or cultural traditions, they provide a sense of comfort in the familiar.
So why not create your tradition, unique to you, your friends, and your family, that you can look forward to every year and pass down to future generations?
Claim your pets as dependents on your taxes
You may not be able to claim your pets as dependents, but it may be possible to list them as personal expenses.
Service animals, security dogs, pets acting in films, or working as social media influencers can all potentially be claimed on your taxes. Fostering animals for approved organizations can also be a service you can claim on your taxes.
Clean your house once a week
Cleaning isn’t exactly the most fun activity. After all, you have to come face to face with dust bunnies, dead bugs, and dust that never seems to leave your sight entirely.
So when people are coming over, you might have a moment of panic. Instead of cleaning the entire house in one go, start cleaning your home regularly, so you’re not overwhelmed when unexpected guests arrive.
Stop multitasking and do one thing at a time
You might think you’re the king or queen of multi-tasking, able to get ten things done at once, but you may be doing more damage long-term than you might realize.
Multi-tasking regularly can contribute to memory problems. It can also make you more susceptible to becoming easily distracted, to the point you may not get anything done at all. So rather than trying to be a superhero and get everything done at once, try to focus on one task you can finish by giving it all your attention.
Break your New Years resolution
One of the primary reasons so many people break their new years’ resolutions is because they are more excited about doing something rather than committing to the work and slowly lose motivation as the excitement wears off.
But there’s no harm in breaking your resolutions. Take the opportunity to learn more about what does and doesn’t motivate you.
