Those drawn to new year resolutions can check out Louis Wise’s novel twist on annual self-improvement plans: Clean up your culture diet, with a 10-step “arts detox.”

The idea is “not to do less, but to do better.” The piece, from The Times (of London), is Brit-centric and not just a little snarky.
