How I did it
How to learn Dvorak
It took me
3 months
It made me
efficient

How I did it: I used TypeTrainer4Mac in conjunction with lessons from www.gigliwood.com/abcd/. The home row was super quick, so after that, I tried to learn 2-3 letter pairs per day. After I got the whole keyboard, I went back and reinforced weak letters and established some words.I still need to work on speed, but for now I'm pretty happy. (Also, onto Colemak!)

How to drink enough water
It took me
6 months
It made me

How I did it: I used a 1 liter bottle to gauge my consumption. The amount I should drink per day was determined by my body weight (see entries). I split the day into 4 hour chunks and made sure at the end of every 4 hour that I had drank the bottle. Read how I did it…

Erg a 2k in under 7 Minutes (read all 2 entries…)
been awhile... 9 months ago

... since I addressed this site, let alone this goal. Anyway, I stopped rowing in the interim, so we’ll see where that takes me. The house I’m at has an erg and I’ve been doing yoga. See if I can’t ramp it up.

1.5-2 hr work outs a day?

Read The World's Religions by Huston Smith
Began, for real 9 months ago

I purchased my own copy of the book. I should return the copy that I am borrowing, but that is secondary. I’m on pg. 22, which is the beginning of the Hindu chapter.
