One habit moved out of the training phase and onto the maintenance list:

The current list:

• Drink enough water
• Drink <= 1 cup of coffee a day
• Check my voicemail regularly
• Be more visible at work
• Lights out and TV off by midnight
• Schedule daily goals that I can accomplish
• Record 5 things I’m grateful for every day
• Shower and get dressed as soon as I get up

The current list:

• Drink enough water
• Drink <= 1 cup of coffee a day
• Check my voicemail regularly
• Be more visible at work
• Practice FLYing with a like-minded group of 43Thingers
• Lights out and TV off by midnight

• Shower and get dressed as soon as I get up
• Move for 15 minutes a day
• Don’t watch TV alone
• Read my RSS feeds only twice a day

These are going pretty well. I still don’t feel so hot, so I shudder to think what my life would be like without these habits.

• Drink enough water
• Drink <= 1 cup of coffee a day
• Check my voicemail regularly
• Be more visible at work
• Practice FLYing with a like-minded group of 43Thingers
• Lights out and TV off by midnight
• Schedule daily goals that I can accomplish
• Record 5 things that I accomplished today
• Shower and get dressed as soon as I get up

These are going ok, actually. Probably the worst one was “be more visible at work,” but I’ve been working on that. Plus it’s harder over the summer when a lot of folks are gone…

Looking back at the last post 8 months ago, here are the habits I’ve been faithful with:

• Drink more water
• Drink no more than 1 cup of coffee a day
• Check my voicemail regularly

The goals I’ve been kinda faithful to, but could stand to recommit:

• Be visible at work (the Corporate Masters’ as well as the University)
• Practice FLYing with a like-minded group of 43Thingers
• Lights out and TV off by midnight
• Set clear daily and weekly research goals
• Shower and get dressed as soon as I get up

The goals I’ve totally abandoned, without meaning to:

• Blog every week
• Help Katchoo become a Top 500 Amazon reviewer

And the goals I’ve totally abandoned, and that’s ok:

• Use my CPAP every night (it just isn’t working for me, and losing weight helped with the apnea anyway)
• Track time spent on research (helpful to get back in the habit, but not worth doing long-term)

I marked “be more visible at work” as done, but I want to be sure I keep showing up!
