How I did it
How to stop oversleeping
It took me
3 weeks
It made me
Awake

How I did it: On the first two weeks of my job I kept oversleeping. I did get to work on time, but that's about it. I was just working and sleeping. Then my body sort of got used to the new routine and I started getting frustrated with doing absolutely nothing except work, so my days gradually started including more activities. I still sleep a lot and probably always will - it's just how I am and how my body is - but I don't miss out on stuff because I… Read how I did it…

How to quit Therapy
It took me
1 day
It made me
More independent

How I did it: I started feeling more and more comfortable with the realization that I needed to quit, and once feeling it's legit I was able to cope with my therapist's opposite opinion and promise her to consider it and give her a call if I ever change my mind. Read how I did it…

How to have a best friend which isn't my spouse
It took me
7 years
It made me
stronger

How I did it: I understood that friendship is more important than the illusion of self-improvement. There were times when I thought that time spent reading a classic novel is better than time spent with a friend. Now I know better. Also I focused on enriching the relationship with one close friend rather than on making new friends or get closer to random buddies. Read how I did it…

Learn to cook (read all 3 entries…)
So I know it sounds dumb

But I’ve never been able to make good looking pancakes. They just always came out wrong, at least looking wise, and sometimes even texture wise and taste wise. It’s such a simple cooking task, even kids can do it successfully but somehow I just couldn’t get it. Up until today! I made the most wonderful pancakes ever, at least in the genre (no butter, very little oil, whole wheat flour). They were perfect in taste and texture and almost perfect in form. I know, pics or it didn’t happen, but I didn’t take pics and it did happen.
