Christmas decorations are disappearing from living rooms and windows, champagne glasses and empty bottles of wine litter the floor. Soon, it will sink in that the holiday season has concluded and 2016 is ready to get down and fantastically dirty.

There are 363 days left in the year 2013. Interesting thought, isn't it? Maybe if we looked at time based on what we have left and not what we have already done we would have more sense of urgency. Saying that today is the second day of the year makes it seem like it's "only" the second day and lots of time stretches out before us (which it does sort of, I mean a year is a long time).
