The new year starts now
Instead of waiting for Jan. 1, use the return-to-campus rhythm of September to reset habits and goals.
We’re conditioned to think of Jan. 1 as the time to reset our lives, buy planners and set resolutions. But by then planners can be sold out, gyms crowded, the weather is colder and days are shorter, so it can be harder to begin new routines. Consider using September — with its back-to-school momentum — as the moment to start fresh instead of waiting for the calendar year to change.
