quit sugar for a month (read all 3 entries…)
and again 3 weeks ago

I’m planning on accomplishing 10 goals within the next month (some will take a full month) – like this goal which, I think, has been up since I joined the 43things community.

Sometimes a little intensity is what I need. I most need to focus on ditching television and my studies (and getting through at least one more book). I’d like a simpler list. And knocking out goals gives me the warm fuzzies.

fail 3 weeks ago

This goal is constitutes one of my most constant failures. I’ll start small: no TV for a week, starting today.

In other news: this weekend has been my most affective stab at procrastination to date. It started off great – we went out with friends one night, took the pups to a dog park the next day, I ran recycling errands… But the weekend ended with me completely wasting hours and hours I should’ve spent studying, leaving me feeling like the proverbial shite.

Anyway. No point in dwelling. The next two weeks will be intensely busy with exams and a trip to New Orleans crammed in the middle of it all. So, focusing on my no TV goal couldn’t come at a better time.

doctor, dentist, clean out the car, oil change, recycling, mail packages, vet, donations, electronics, tailor... (10/22)
breather 4 weeks ago

I have a short break between exams, having completed the econometrics exam on Monday. I’ll ease into business this weekend; and really get back down to it next week. In the meantime, I’m trying to get as many minor bullets taken care of as I can. Things get put on the back burner during exams (for example: nearly four weeks of bronchitis).

I’m repeatedly failing my no shopping goal. I think it’s some haphazard attempt at metamorphosis – purging and building. I want to connect to something. I need to be more deliberate with my time and my actions.
