As a new year begins, writers and columnists across the spectrum are offering advice on how to get the most out of 2023— and giving suggestions on what to leave behind in 2022.

Physical Health: An article in Forbes advises readers to visit their primary care doctor this year. The article offers a warning of the dangers of not getting regularly examined for treatable ailments like cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. The article concludes, “visiting your family doctor should be at the top of your list of new year resolutions, especially if you have not gone for the last several years.”

Mental Health: A writer in The Blaze suggests that in 2023, Americans resolve to be “less addicted to outrage.” The writer suggests approaching disagreements with good-faith intentions and working to understand those with differing opinions. He writes, “try to avoid assuming the worst motivations for people who may disagree with you. It's very easy to insult your opponents and exaggerate their motivations and intentions. It's better to honestly address their real objections and motivations.”

Sticking to Goals: An article in The Atlantic interviewed Oliver Burkeman, who writes about productivity and time management. Burkeman argues that accepting one’s own limitations is essential to setting realistic, obtainable goals. Additionally, Burkeman discourages making resolutions with an ‘all-or-nothing’ approach. He states, “it’s helpful for resolutions to be resilient—ones that you’re going to be able to stick with even when life doesn’t run as perfectly as you planned.”

The typical mantra from healthcare experts when ringing in the new year usually centers around commitments to exercise more and lose weight. Although important, there may be a new year resolution that could be more impactful for your health. What about investing in your health by simply visiting your primary care doctor. Sounds simple, but this could literally be the difference between your life and death.

We have a problem and everyone recognizes it, but so far, very few have been willing to do anything about it. We are addicted to outrage.

This is most evident on social media, but it has also infected nearly any platform where Americans get together and try to engage in discourse about our problems.

Are you addicted to outrage? Here are a few signs to look for.

Are you afflicted?

New Year’s resolutions are a time for reflection—a chance to think about the limited time we have on this Earth and how to use it wisely.

Oliver Burkeman is a writer who focuses on this nexus of mortality and productivity. He is the author of Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mere Mortals (4,000 weeks is about the length of the average American’s life span). I caught up with him to discuss New Year’s–resolution making and breaking, and why you should consider not setting your resolutions until mid-January.
