How I did it
It made me
Think 
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. Done. Once I consciously chose (or not) to leave the TV off, it was surprisingly easy. Which made part three of the goal a lot easier too.Part 2. Not done. Not as successful, but my target was 2 out of 3 and I found a l… Read how I did it…
It made me
Pleased
How I did it: Read it. Posted it as a goal. Mentioned DQ during conversations about books and stuff. It's a _big_ book, so it's not going to be for everyone. But I hope they did enjoy it as much as I did. Read how I did it…
It made me
Fly
How I did it: I listed this as a goal, without any intention of doing much with it for a long time. It just sat there for a while before I couldn't ignore it any longer. So I phoned up and booked a trial lesson. Nothing taxing here.I thought I might get scared once we were ready to go, but fortunately my excitement defeated my cowardly instincts.It was just fantastic. Read how I did it…

Over recent months I’ve turned weekend-inertia into an artform as I recharge after the working week. But for true fans of inactivity, today was a little bit special. It’s been a decent enough day but I’m probably going to use more energy searching for standout ‘goods’ than I have during the whole of the day…
1. Just being able to relax. That’s cool.
2. A very nice evening meal.
3. Putting my feet up and watching Match of the Day.
Not posted much on this, but I’ve been working on it. It’s amazing how difficult it can be at times and probably the hardest thing has been to work out exactly what being me actually means so I can stay congruent to it. This could be a massively long entry, because people are complex and I doubt I am any different. Long story short? Probably the main difference I’ve made on this is to go along with my natural instincts to be open, at work. Previously, I had tried to keep a lid on some of the difficulties I was having and be a stoic, but I’d rather just be honest with people and I’ve done this more. It’s not always easy to pitch it right, but I feel it’s the right thing to do.
