i moved into an apartment just before i turned 30. it felt really good to celebrate that birthday in a place of my own. i am reveling in it. i’ve got so much space and quiet and privacy and freedom to do what i want. i don’t mind staying home on weekend nights and just soaking in the freedom of my own space. finally finally finally finally!

I’ve started to use MySomeday.com to help achieve some of my goals. It’s great for goal-achieving because of their feature of being able to create or your own (or copy someone else’s) plan, and mark off each step as you achieve it.
I still miss the journaling feature on 43things at MySomeday, but all in all I’m finding it a great goalsetting website to use.
i need a routine. or a miracle schedule, as jim gold says.
that is what i need.
aha! good habits to replace the bad.
kind of like thoughts. it’s very difficult to just stop bad thoughts. what you need to do is REPLACE them with good thoughts.
