I’ve got everything, tomorrow or Friday will be the day I finaly do this.

...so back on the list it goes.

When pressed for time in the morning, this is the first thing to go. It’s more a question of willingness. I’ve always got 15 minutes available in the morning, I’m just choosing to do other things; watch the news, surf the internet, etc.

I need to stop that.

I’ve done this for a couple of days now. I used to mediate, but haven’t for years. Sitting for 15 minutes now seems like a long time. But, as my friends would say, there’s no such thing as a bad meditation.

I picked up “Moving Mars” by Greg Bear today. Somehow I just can’t get interested in any of the classics that I have hanging around my shelves waiting to be read.

I don’t think this goal really captures what I was intending. Relearn how to solve partial differential equations. I’m also spending a lot more time reading now, so I don’t really have the time or desire to work on this at the moment.

I finished my sci-fi diversion with Seeker and Revelation Space, now it time to get back to Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. My hope is to finish it now before I get sidetracked again.

Asked the wife last night, to see if she would like to do this with me. Something we could all do together as a family. She thought it was a good idea too. Now, if I only had the first clue about how to do it, we’d be set. Time to do some research.

It -12 out, but it’s very clear. I looked for and recognized Cassiopia tonight, without a star map. The northern sky isn’t very bright from here, but I managed to find it none the less. One more down, a bunch to go.

I’ve been procrastinating starting this. I will exercise tonight before I go to bed.

I don’t think I’m at 64oz yet, but I’m definately drinking a lot more water than I was before I added this goal.

It hasn’t really been hard. It was more just making the decision to do it and following through, rather than just looking at the bed each morning and thinking “it’s no big deal, I’ve got important stuff to do” then sitting down to watch TV.

I don’t think it’s gotten much above zero outside since I wanted to start this. Guess I’ll find out how much I really want to do this. Fortunately it’s been cloudy most nights so going outside hasn’t really been an option.

Got him a year ago and really enjoy him. He does tend to enjoy pushing things off of other things, like my wallet and watch off of my dresser.

He’s a lot bigger now.

I seem to find the time to do this but choose not to make my bed. Time to put it on the list.

I figure I’ll start with the ones that are always visible from here. Tonight it’s Cepheus and Cassiopeia.

Started doing this last week. It’s not as inconvenient as I thought it might be. The bags are so much better than the plastic or paper ones.

I decided to put down “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance” and read a couple of Sci-Fi books. I was getting disappointed with my slow progress. Since the switch I’ve finished “Seeker” and started “Revelation Space”. I’ll go back to Zen after that’s finished.

I didn’t drink that much to begin with, and now I don’t even really consider it when looking for a beverage option. I can always add this thing back if I need to.

I’ve pretty much replaced this with “exercise every day”. I really don’t like jumping rope very much.
