Ah, smartphones. Our pocket-sized portals to an endless world of information, memes, and distractions. They beep, buzz, and vibrate, demanding our attention at all hours of the day (and night, if you’re brave enough to keep your notifications on). But here’s the kicker: while these clever gadgets were designed to make life easier, they’ve sneakily turned us into perpetual doers. We scroll, tap, reply, and swipe ourselves into oblivion, all while complaining about how tired we are.
Take a moment and think: when was the last time you truly did nothing? Not scrolling TikTok, not binge-watching Netflix, not even doodling aimlessly in a notebook. Just... sat there. No agenda, no distractions. Feels almost scandalous, doesn’t it? And therein lies the problem. We’ve lost the capacity to do nothing, and frankly, it’s ruining us.
Ah, December was yesterday, the time of year when we’re bombarded with fairy lights, festive adverts, and a nauseating amount of social media posts featuring smug couples and families in matching Christmas jumpers or pyjamas. But amidst all this yuletide cheer comes the inevitable nudge — shove towards self-improvement. And by nudge, I mean that nagging voice in your head (and every marketing email) reminding you it’s time to reinvent yourself for 2025. Spoiler alert: You won’t. And that’s okay.
Let’s talk about New Year’s resolutions. I tackled this topic last year—a cheeky little blog explaining why New Year’s resolutions are a recipe for disaster. If you missed it, here’s the link: Why New Year’s Resolutions Don’t Work. Go on, have a read. I’ll wait. Done? Fabulous. Let’s dive into why this year, instead of setting yourself up for failure, you should embrace the joy of doing absolutely nothing revolutionary.

Ah, the festive season! That magical time of year when twinkling lights adorn every available surface, Mariah Carey makes her annual comeback, and people everywhere pretend they’re not on the verge of a nervous breakdown. If you’re feeling more bah humbug than fa-la-la-la-la, you’re not alone. Let’s talk about why the holidays can be as stressful as trying to assemble flat-pack furniture with no instructions and one screw missing!

Ah, December. The grand finale of the year. A time for twinkling lights, mulled wine, and — drumroll please — to the “look-what-I-achieved” posts. You know the ones. They flood your feed like clockwork, boasting about promotions, dream vacations, fitness transformations, and perfect families in matching pyjamas. It’s like a competitive sport: Achievement Olympics, sponsored by self-congratulatory hashtags.
And don’t get me wrong—I love a good success story. Who doesn’t? But let’s face it, for many of us, this year wasn’t exactly a walk in the park. In fact, if you managed to crawl, limp, or drag yourself through 2024, that’s a colossal win. So, if your biggest achievement this year was simply surviving, grab a cuppa (or something stronger), and let’s raise a toast to you.
