How I did it
How to eat healthier
It took me
1 year
It made me
healthier.

How I did it: Health class wasn't a waste.  I did pay attention.  I just chose convenience over nutritional quality.  I had some dietary analysis done by my doctor having nothing to do with my health, but having to do with a quest for the triggers to headaches that I was having. I wasn't eating awfully, too many calories was the biggest sin, I wasn't eating enough foods with nutritional value.  I was also not getting enough protein. As a side ben… Read how I did it…

How to do my taxes
It took me
1 day
It made me
relieved.

How I did it: Got all forms together. Decided not to itemize  Found an online tax service that was reputable.

Take 15 minutes to organize or clean something a day
This technique works well! 6 months ago

I recently bought a used car. It needs cleaned. Each day this week I have spent 15 minutes cleaning a quarter of the vehicle. It’s starting to look pretty good!

If I do the same with my new apartment, I’ll be moved in by months end.

Update and consolidate my journals once a week! (read all 5 entries…)
I have run into a problem with my journal. 6 months ago

It full of emotional baggage and it’s falling apart. I have lovingly rebound it, but the pages themselves are collapsing. The covers are disintegrating. Everything in pencil is blurred.

I think I am going to use make a new journal and implement some new tools for indexing the information.

carbonate fruit (read all 4 entries…)
My parent don't understand why I would want to do this. 6 months ago

I thought that they would be interested in it. They weren’t. They are worried that I might maim, puncture, or kill somebody while preparing the food.
