How I did it: I finally realised that I was unthinkingly putting the TV on as soon as I got home and keeping it on 'til late.  I set myself some limits, alongside the the other stuff in the goal title and tried it out.Part 1.

Two days 19 hours ago

Forgot to do yesterday so here’s two for the price of one…

Monday: –
1. A lovely new member of the team at work.
2. Went to the supermarket and the girl at the checkout made me laugh a lot, so I went out with a smile I wasn’t wearing when I went in. And I didn’t pay for it :-)
3. The enthusiasm which the team have approached a project.

Tuesday: –
1. Drawing silly pictures.
2. Checking out some tunes I hadn’t heard in a long time.
3. Doing it for the fans.
