How I did it
How to get CPR and first aid training with my son
It took me
1 day
It made me
feel more prepared.

How I did it: We signed up to take a class at our local volunteer fire department. The class included training and American Heart Association certification in CPR/AED/First Aid, and it lasted about six hours. I hope neither of us ever has to use this training, but I'm glad we have it. Read how I did it…

How to learn how to fix holes in sheetrock, and fix two of them in my house
It took me
4 days
It made me
Proud of my son.

How I did it: Watched videos on YouTube (some are better than others; we watched as many as we needed to watch to understand the underlying principles and to get some tips on how to do it well and easily).Confirmed the instructions with the folks at ACE Hardware, where we bought the sheetrock saw, spackling compound, silicone tape, and sandpaper.Finished the project with texturizing spray purchased at Home Depot. (Consider buying the "easy clean up" ki… Read how I did it…

How to eliminate profanity from my vocabulary
It took me
45 years
It made me
Oh, for @#$% sake.

How I did it: The same way I eliminated inappropriate uses of emoticons, parentheses, and ellipses: By becoming more conscious of it and making an effort to edit.I pictured myself blurting out something completely inappropriate out of habit - at a grade school book signing. I also keep a public blog, and I thought about all the different people who might stumble across it. Was it worth the risk of offending them? If so, the word stayed - if not, I edit… Read how I did it…

It's scheduled and my phone reminds me... 11 months ago

Three mornings each week I wake up at 5:45 AM to “Hey Mama” by the Black Eyed Peas and ride the stationary bike for 30-40 minutes (175-200 calories). I’ve managed it only twice this week; first time, I got overzealous and injured a calf muscle. But this morning, I honored the commitment, made a fiber smoothie for breakfast afterwards, took a long and wonderfully refreshing shower, and got to work fairly early.

The other four mornings I get to sleep in a bit and wake up to Cat Stevens’s “Morning Has Broken.” I’m getting myself trained…

More gadgets = more productivity?? 11 months ago

Maybe.

I’ve just taken some time to sync my personal and work Outlook calendars and tasks to my new SE W580i cell phone. IF I remember to do this regularly, I should have calendar, contacts, and to-do list at hand no matter where I am.

The trick is to remember to look, track, and USE the information.

floss daily
It's just not that hard or time consuming, really, is it? 11 months ago

New routine:

- Brush with Sonicare and Biotene and floss each morning.
- Brush after lunch (bought a toothbrush, toothpaste, and mouthwash for the office – no excuses now!)
- Brush with Sonicare and Biotene and floss each evening.

After only three days of this, I’m liking the results.
