Making a list and checking it twice

No, not my Christmas list. I'm starting to think about my New Year's Resolutions. I was pretty happy with my 2013 list. Although I missed my exercise goal on and off throughout the year, I did a pretty good job picking up Molly early and never missed a date night.

This year, I'm thinking I'll keep the exercise and date night resolutions, but want to exchange my Molly resolution for something better. Instead of making a point to spend more time with Molly, I want to make it my goal to spend more quality time with Molly. And that means putting down my phone. Kylie wrote a good blog post about the topic a few months ago. Although I agreed with everything she wrote, I didn't actually take her advice.

I read in the paper today that most adults check their phones 150 times a day. I couldn't believe that stat when I read it, but I bet it's probably true. Scary! I know I don't need to look at that thing 150 times a day. I just do it out of habit. Boredom. But the whole point of making resolutions is to change bad habits, right? I can do it. The phone will go away from 7 to 8 every morning and from 6 to 8 every evening. Breaking the habit on weekends might be harder, especially during fantasy football season. However, if my 2014 teams are as bad as my 2013 teams, it might not end up being so difficult after all!
