Will eating chicken parmigiana for breakfast change your life? Perhaps not. But don’t you want to find out?
Better With Time is a new newsletter course from The Atlantic. If you sign up, I’ll send you an email the following day at 7 a.m. ET on how to kick-start your wake-up. Then, once a week for the next eight weeks, I’ll send you an email at a different time of day that could likely use a zhuzh: the mid-morning doldrums, that vanishing slice of post-work free time, all the way up to bedtime. Each edition will give you a single to-do to improve that bit of the day, drawn from The Atlantic’s coverage.
I’ve already spoiled the first—the scandalous suggestion that you start your morning with that inimitable Italian American alchemy of cutlet, cheese, and marinara—but things get weirder and more wonderful from there. (That means no telling you to meditate, reduce screen time, or journal about gratitude. Sorry.) And yes, there is science behind it all—kinda.
This course is for anyone who wants to make their days a little better, which is to say, everyone. It’s especially for anyone who, when lying in bed at night after the hours have exhausted themselves, wonders, Where do I begin?
Fine: Unless that chicken parm is a very, very good chicken parm, it will not change your life, or at least not right away. But like everything else in Better With Time, it will change your day. And what is life but a great bunch of changing days dominoed together?
Up and at ’em. Sign up to begin the course here. And preview the first edition here.
