It's the thing I hate the most about being self employed.

In theory any day could be payday. And many of them are not.

And many of your "30 or 60 day terms" get pushed up to 120 days and partial payment into your account...

I don't think I've ever had a January resolution. I never understood the concept of them or the rationale. Perhaps my Christmas 'excess' has rarely been excessive and therefore it's never called for any form of abstinence.

"I don't think I've ever had a January resolution. I never understood the concept of them or the rationale. Perhaps my Christmas 'excess' has rarely been excessive and therefore it's never called for any form of abstinence."

The rationale is almost doomed to failure. Will power tends to lose in a fight against habit, unless you dig the reasons for those habits in the ribs and see solutions "outside" the traditional narratives. Then apply them, with adaptability.

That applies to pretty much any form of behaviour.

Most, if not all of us, have something we'd rather we didn't have, and some people have something and make it work, turn it into an embrace.

But the January thing - it's hard work to turn that into an ongoing transformation, regardless of what the wished for thing is.
