Habits are easy to stick to

养成一个新习惯很容易

while we're in the ‘honeymoon week'

you will be living a completely different life.

Don't get stuck in the trap of "sorting things out later"

or thinking that you have tonnes of time.

也别想着你许多时间

We are already in 2021

我们已经开始了2021年

and the year will be over before you know it, just like 2020.

在你尚未意识到的时候，这一年会像2020年一样，很快就会结束

Time will pass whether you're using it or if you're not.
