No matter where you stand on resolutions, the new year is a good opportunity to sit down with yourself and ask “what would I like to change?” because complacency is the root of suffering and you are in control of your own destiny 🧘‍♀️💥

We asked the Partiful team what their resolutions are for 2025 and the reasons behind them. Here’s what they said, in no particular order:

Use fewer words: people tend to qualify their statements and it adds unnecessary context
Eat maximum 1 subway footlong per month: they’re not even close to 5 dollars anymore
Consistently get to the office before 11:30AM: early bird gets the worm
Grow a plant from a seed: metaphorically and physically
Go on more serious dates: and figure out what I want out of dating
Stop saying yes to people I don’t want to see: life is too short for surface-level relationships
Have a regular sleep schedule: (this was said by 3 diff team members)
Suck more: do things I suck at at least once a week, like roller blade, guitar, etc… exposure therapy to cure my fear of trying new things
Be more decisive: my gut is normally right and the back-and-forth that happens after is unnecessary
Cook every recipe in a cook book: rather than remaking the same 3 I gravitate towards
Buy fewer things: waiting a few days before buying to better differentiate between what I want from what I need
Overshare less: I value my vulnerability, but not every convo needs a miniature traumadump
Stop caring about toxic ex-friendships: the urge to explain why I ducked out of a friendship rarely goes well. I need to protect my peace and not put any energy into wondering if I should clear the air so there aren't awkward interactions at parties down the road.
Give myself more time in between plans: so I’m not running everywhere in 2025
Plan more of my friend’s birthdays: because it’s stressful for them but easy for me
