Don’t make resolutions, and 6 other tips for success in 2020
Last Wednesday wasn’t magical.
There, I said it. Yes, the new year is exciting – time to turn the page on 2019, and look forward to the blank slate of 2020. If your inbox is like mine, you probably had an onslaught of emails Tuesday and Wednesday with subject lines like “New Year, New You,” “New Year, New Discoveries,” or my favorite: “New Year, New Shoes” (because evidently, the 2019 me is good enough, but my shoes aren’t?!).
