Looking back on things you didn\u2019t get done, trying to embolden yourself to make changes in the coming year. Using an arbitrary dateline as motivation to be something you\u2019ve never been, but desperately want to be, if only you could find the discipline and time. Trying to fend off the technician at your door who\u2019s trying to harvest your liver because you signed up to be an organ donor and there\u2019s been a clerical mix-up, and you haven\u2019t even had a chance to shower and change your housecoat.
