Amazon new years resolution confirmation

2023 is rapidly coming to a close. This year has been full of surprises for me. As I reflect on the past year and prepare for the upcoming year, I think I want to spend more time focusing on my health and less time on work. That’s not to say I don’t want to work hard, but a little balance would be good as this year has been heavily focused on work.

It’s easy to say you want to work out more, eat healthier, spend more time with friends, etc. Committing and doing those things is much more challenging.

I know a few people who love to take action and work on their resolutions by buying stuff. This part is easy (if you have money), and it’s also very easy for those new purchases to just sit and collect dust rather than being part of a substantive life change.

This got me thinking… what if Amazon forced you to take some sort of “pledge” when buying items around this time of year? It would annoy a lot of people and probably eat into Amazon’s revenue, but it would force a few people to think twice about whether or not they need that fancy new machine to start getting in shape.

Whether it’s exercising more, learning to knit, or something else entirely, I wish you luck as we all prepare to carry out our resolutions.
