Resolve to rephrase

Swedish researchers say that New Years resolutions rooted in starting or adopting new habits are more likely to succeed than those that take away, avoid or quit something. In a December study published in scientific journal PLOS ONE, Stockholm University and Linkping University researchers suggest that simply rephrasing your resolution can lead to lasting change. For example, if your goal is to stop eating sweets in order to lose weight, you will most likely be more successful if you say, I will eat fruit several times a day instead, the researchers wrote. You then replace sweets with something healthier, which probably means you will lose weight and also keep your resolution. The study analyzed resolutions made by 1,066 people, following up each month over one year.

Scientific studies have shown that plants improve indoor air quality, boost creativity and reduce our stress. Some easy-to-care-for indoor plants include lucky bamboo, succulents, aloe vera, peace lily, snake, jade and ZZ plants. And like everything these days, help with plant care is just an app away. To start your plant-parenting journey, consider apps Planta, Blossom, PlantSnap or Vera by Bloomscape.

Behavioral scientist Ashley Whillans of Harvard Business School estimates that eight in 10 of us chronically feel pressed for time, making now a great time for a reset. People who value and make the most of their time are healthier, happier, less stressed and more productive, Whillans writes in her new book, Time Smart: How to Reclaim Your Time and Live a Happier Life (Harvard Business Review Press, $28). The secret to happier time starts with small, deliberate daily steps to prioritize what brings you joy reading or savoring a home-cooked meal with family, for instance, and minimizing time wasters, such as doomscrolling our phones or checking work email late at night. Whillans will offer a virtual presentation on the topic on Jan. 13 at noon. Registration is required to receive the Zoom link at alumni.extension.harvard.edu/events.
