Talk to me when the novelty wears off

I’m glad that new [diet, productivity, exercise, relationship, habit, etc.] thing you just started has been working so far. Come talk to me in a month or two, once it’s not new and exciting anymore.

And maybe next time, try not to get too excited about whatever your new new thing is until the novelty of it has worn off. Because you don’t know if it’s working until it’s old and working.

(This may or may not be a letter to myself.)
