IT'S QUITTERS DAYĀ ANDĀ STICK TO YOUR RESOLUTIONS DAY!
I guess January 12th is here to be all things to all people.
Ā
If you've already cried uncle on New Year resolutions you're in good company.Ā A 2019 study found that approximately 80% of people who made New Yearās resolutions have tapped out by the second week of January.Ā The calendar also took the liberty of reminding us we should stick to the resolutions we've abandoned. So, uh, stick to them, or don't. Whatever. š
Ā
Today is a perfect day to remind you we worked hard in 2023 to createĀ fun ways to help you stick to good habits. So whether you're trying to reduce screen time (you should get ourĀ adult activity books), document moments with your loved ones (you should get our guidedĀ guest book), or engage in more positive thinking (you should get ourĀ Delve Deck Joy Edition), we've got some tools to make it a little more doable.
If you've already given in to the dark side and binged on nachos when you swore off junk food or blew your top over something small when you vowed to be calmer, we won't judge. We've all got little devils on our shoulders.
He says that every year, and he's usually right.Ā š¤·š»āāļø

This week I chatted with Tess from our content team about our office burglary last week, our theories about what motivated the crooks (and the annoyances their malfeasance caused), and internet trolls who have no sense of humor.Ā
Ā
We cheered ourselves up with a lovely review from a customer who ordered the Delve Deck, discussed recent Question of the Day "what's the best thing that happened to you in the last 12 months," and we wrapped up with trading answers to questions from theĀ venting deckĀ andĀ joy deck.Ā
