January — named for Janus, Roman god of beginnings and transitions — is either the coldest or warmest month depending on your hemisphere.

“What are your resolutions?” someone texts me.
“Goals or hopes?”
“Either.”
“I see.”

End of conversation because my phone dies. Only the sound outside my window reaches me.

Phone past one battery cycle/day = wasteful and counterproductive. For battery health, if you recharge before 20%, call it the end of the cycle and turn it off. There’s nothing more direct than “off.”
