There is a time to tackle ambitious intellectual projects and go on grand political crusades, and tour the podcast circuit marketing both.

That time is not January. January is for:

* sleeping (at the same time every night)
* running, or long walks
* reflecting on our obligations under the moral law
* composing careful memoirs on our failures before the moral law (in anticipation of being court-martialed in February for crimes of December)
* chores
* medium-term planning
* performing well at one's dayjob
* studying math in the evenings
* avoiding Twitter (starting now)
* not using psychiatric medications like quetiapine unless the expected consequences of doing so seem better
