How to use «From now on» in context?
I’ve been thinking a lot about the phrase «from now on.» Normally, I dread phrases like this because they usually signify a change in my lifestyle that I cannot control. I’ll be spending less time with my friends, for instance, because I have to put in the extra effort to maintain old ties. There is the nagging feeling that I am sacrificing something that is precious, and I resent any imposition on my time. So, when my friends and I inevitably sit around and reminisce about our past — what was before «from now on» — I feel like a traitor.

Laith Khalaf:
Over half of the property fund sector is now on ice, and will remain so until managers raise enough cash to meet redemptions. To do that they need to sell properties, and as any homeowner knows, that is not a quick or painless procedure, these funds are therefore likely to be closed for weeks and months rather than simply a matter of days.

William Eaton:
There are many studies now on mental disorders and inflammation and immunity, the immune processes involved in mental disorders are terribly important because if we could understand them we might be able to prevent or better treat disorders — and we don’t have quite enough understanding to do that yet.

Rukhsar Azamee:
They won’t have the opportunity to go to school, to go to college, and to have a right to work or just leave their house without a male. It’s devastating. It’s heartbreaking. We’re also seeing the sign of those actions already. There are many women now, on state-owned TV stations in Kabul, that female journalists and TV presenters were not allowed to go back to work. Despite having, I.D., credentials to work. That is concerning.

Hi! I am writing a story and I have two characters who need to use an expression like «from now on» in two different situations barely two pages apart, as in:
«From now on, you must obey your Uncle» (to a child)
«We’ll have to live here from now on» (to an adult close relative)
For obvious reasons, I’d prefer them not to use exactly the same expression.
I know that there’re alternatives like henceforth, from this moment forth, hereafter, etc., but all of them seem to be formal or dated.
Please, could you suggest another colloquial or not too formal expression (as in talking to children or close relatives) that one of the characters could use instead of «from now on»?

What obvious reasons? Repetition plays an important role in many kinds of speech and writing.
«In future» is a common alternative.

#3

«In future» is a common alternative.
I’d just prefer them not to sound like «carbon copies» of each other if there’s a natural, commonly used alternative.

We can’t provide lists of synonyms here, xpell. If you have a specific alternative in mind, please ask about it. Otherwise, a thesaurus (such as thesaurus.com, for example) is a good option.

«From now on» is such a common, conventional expression, it is inconspicuous.
I doubt that any reader will notice the «repetition» two pages later,
any more than they would notice the preposition «about» being used more than once on a page.
You are right, the others you mention are too formal.
If you insist on a change, «from here on» is possible, but it would clash in sound with «live here».
By the way, «in future» (BE) is «in the future» in AE.

I’ve said often that there is nothing wrong with repeating a word if that word is the best word to choose in that instance.
What word would you choose to replace «word» with in the above sentence?
In school we were taught not to use a word twice in a sentence and to avoid repeating it in an adjacent sentence. As an adult I categorically state that the rule is nonsense.
«From now on» is colloquial. To replace it with something like «from this point forward» or «hence» or «hereafter» which are far less colloquial is a stylistic mistake in my opinion.

I agree, xpell, you needn’t worry about the repetition» of «from now on», especially after a two-page interval.

Thank you all very much. If it is so common and natural, then both of them will say «from now on»!

Perhaps «as of now/today«, but I couldn’t tell whether this is truly more colloquial than «from now on«.

Who exactly are these people? This means social status and background.
Where are they, and in what time period is the story set?
Some of the suggestions given here would be quite inappropriate in certain contexts, because they are ‘dialect’, or colloquial/slang.

Where are they, and in what time period is the story set?
Some of the suggestions given here would be quite inappropriate in certain contexts, because they are ‘dialect’, or colloquial/slang.
The present time (actually the very near future, around 2019-2020 —estimated date of publication. ) They’re in Spain (but the dialog is written in English, just like the rest of the story) and the U.S.
The use of colloquialisms is OK, since they’re talking to a young kid (first character) and a close relative (second character).
