Luke Burbank on making realistic New Year's resolutions

TL;DR

  • Stop looking at the phone when others are talking and lying about it.
  • Be honest about whether fruits and vegetables are organic at self-checkout.
  • Implement a 'one in/one out' policy for New Yorker magazines, reading or recycling them.
  • Stop agreeing to plans with the hope that the other person will cancel.
  • Directly say 'yes' to desired plans and 'no' to undesired ones without guilt.
