You get approximately 525,600 minutes to make the most of each year, and that number just decreased as you read this intro.

But let’s not focus on what you’ve lost. You still have 525,599 minutes left to make better choices than you did last year. What will you do? Where will you go? What changes will you implement?

It’s okay if you don’t have the answer to all — or any — of these questions just yet. It takes time to carve out your self-improvement plan, but try to include some of the 5 ideas below.

1. Bathe

Right now, some of you are confused about why this item is even on a daily to-do list, and that’s okay. Skip this and head to suggestion #2 if you don’t need a reminder to shower or soak in the tub.

As for the rest of you, I’ve seen your knotted hair and smelled the body odor you thought you masked with several layers of deodorant or body spray. Sometimes depression or other types of chronic illness interfere with personal hygiene, and parenthood can also make it difficult to shower daily. It’s easy to get sucked into the demands of the professional world as well, especially if you telecommute or do freelance work.

These things happen, so I’m not here to judge your bathing habits. I just want you to remember that you deserve clean…
