San Franciscans aim for more reading, less doomscrolling and 'hockey stick growth' in the new year
"Trisha Lee's goal for the year: To knit herself a sweater. "I just ordered the yarn and tools last week," Lee said. The yarn she chose is light blue, light orange, and light yellow. Hanging out with her at Dolores Park were Cobi McCracken and their dog Emma. Lee imagined what Emma's resolution might be: "Probably to be more independent. She is clingy. She comes everywhere with us.""
"McCracken has a more lofty goal: to write a poem a day. Though he's only ever written poetry "mandated in school" he just wrote three poems in Christmas cards - one for his parents, one for Lee's parents, and a limerick for Lee. Tony Pizza chose a word, a color, and an animal to carry with him through the year: discomfort, black and the beaver."
San Francisco residents set a wide range of New Year resolutions. Trisha Lee plans to knit a sweater using light blue, light orange, and light yellow yarn. Cobi McCracken aims to write a poem a day and wants to try styles beyond haiku after composing holiday poems. Tony Pizza selected discomfort, black, and the beaver as guiding motifs. Kristy Pizza plans to embrace transition, be present with family, and read 70 books on self-help, enlightenment, and meaningful fiction. Reading more was the most popular resolution, with others naming reduced phone use and specific reading goals.
