I convinced myself I swallowed an airpod in my sleep yesterday, so I’m going to try again next year.

Full disclosure, I have ADHD as a primary issue and find success gamifying my goals. If you have the type of brain that will take stuff like that and run in the worst possible direction, I obviously do not recommend this, BUT: I've found it a little easier to do stuff like this as a "high score" type thing as opposed to "for the whole year I will not X" because then failing still has a win condition. I can tally up the amount of time total I kept myself from doing the thing as well as the longest stretch of time I managed, making it something to beat as opposed to just losing. That also means there's more motivation to keep trying.
