It’s the last day of January, so it’s time to get those Groundhog’s Day Eve resolutions in. What’s that you say? You’ve never heard of Groundhog’s Day Eve resolutions?!! You must be one of those organized do-gooder types that make New Year’s resolutions, harrumph.<\/p>\n
Yeah, so I couldn’t get it together to do the resolutions thing in January. I mean, I made<\/i> them, but I didn’t really stick to them. So in the spirit of Bill Murray<\/a> I am giving myself another chance. And I’m posting them here, too, so I will a) remember them, and b) feel some small amount of public shame when I think about slacking on them. Let’s see if it works.<\/p>\n 1. Be more realistic. 2. Get control of my infostreams. 3. Start meditating again. 4. Floss in the mornings (as well as at night).
\nKind of an overarching goal. I tend to make a huge list of things that no human could possibly accomplish within the unreasonable timeframe I’ve set, then get mad at myself for not finishing them. Watch me practice this resolution with the very list of resolutions I’m creating!<\/p>\n
\nI’ve had marginal success with this one, actually. I moved all my feeds into google reader, and I’ve been able to get most of the NY Times scanned each morning (tho sometimes the Science Times has to wait til after work). But there are 126 unread items in my google reader right now so obviously this one still needs work.<\/p>\n
\nFor some reason that I can’t quite fathom I stopped meditating about a year ago. Which was dumb, because it helped me sleep better and was great for dealing with stress, too. So I need to get back to that.<\/p>\n
\nThis is a little thing that always feels like a big thing but really is the right thing so I should just do it!<\/p>\n
