Do you feel bombarded by all the emails, social media posts and articles about how to make 2020 your best year ever? I’ve got to admit, I’m
a little stressed out about all the information about how I can improve myself in some way. Obviously, I’m not good enough as I am!

Here are a few of the email subject lines showing up in my inbox lately: “New Year, New You; Will You Accept the Challenge?; Don’t Miss
Out On……; It’s the Magic Formula; Get a Head Start on …..; 5 _____ Mistakes You Don’t Even Know You’re Making”! The list could go on and on with subject lines and titles that imply I need to know more, do more or be more.

Even the title of the article I’m sharing with you today implies I should have done something that I didn’t do – “Why Didn’t I Think of
That?” Well, the reason I’m reading the article is to get tips that I didn’t think of! And if I had already thought of them, I wouldn’t need to read the article.

You are enough. Just the way you are. (Wow, I’m sounding a little like Mr. Rogers here!) But my best advice to you this new year, new decade
is not to try and reinvent yourself. I cannot think of one year in which I made New Year’s resolutions that I actually accomplished . Most of my past resolutions never made it into February! So that means I started off that new year as a failure.

I don’t mean for you to sit back and do nothing to improve yourself. But be selective and make choices that help you improve the quality
of your life or make life a little easier or more efficient for you. And that’s where I aim to help.

My goal is to offer tips and hacks that you can use with little or no effort. I hope to provide a smorgasbord of ideas from which you can choose to implement if they meet your needs.

And that brings me to my request of you. How can I help? As I offer Home Economics Reimagined to you, what are the things you need to make your life a little easier?
