You may be tempted to streamline your affairs over the coming year but don’t go to extremes. Instead, be pragmatic and aim to reform your life just a day at a time. That way you are less likely to throw out things you are still going to need.

Just like in the reals

Used as an alternative to "just like in real life / in the real world". Currently used by out-of-touch marketing executives and aging, formerly-trendy people desperately clinging to the last shreds of relatability with maturing zoomers, attempting to prove they are still trendy and "with it".

Inverse of the phrase "Just like in the simulations."
1: "If you spend money on this product or service, you'll have an edge on your competition- just like in the reals."
2: "Shut up, grandma. Go get your AARP card, you old fat bitch."
1: "I'm only 37. Stop being so toxic, you sexist, body-shaming incel!"
2: "Are you so elderly and out-of-touch you're unable to 'internalize' how blatantly artificial you sound to other people?"
1: *Spends a full 60 minutes angrily ranting on Twitter*

A dumb-a** parental excuse to supposedly alleviate concerns and/or resentment regarding a juvenile delinquent who causes disruption and distress to those around him.
Like many of da parents and guardians of "spoiled rich kid" individuals, accompanying grownups no doubt tried to assure fellow humans who were shocked and outraged after witnessing Tronald Dump's acting out as a child dat "it's just a faze he's going through", but we can see dat is his case, said obnoxious tendencies never did get significantly better; if anything, in fact, he's actually become much WORSE in many ways.
