resolution update, plus change your environment to change your behavior

  1. Don't overthink this - the changes don't have to be large. (We programmers do stuff like this all the time, just to jog the old neurons a little.)

    Re-arrange your office so you face the opposite way. Go for a walk in the morning rather than evening. Take a bath rather than a shower. Cook something completely new. Write a sonnet every afternoon at 2:00.
