Instead of coloring with my box of one hundred and twenty crayons, I removed all crayons from the box and organized them by color. By the time that I had finished arranging them, I no longer wanted to color.

How I did it: I used my Listography account to set up a monthly list. Then, every morning, I added three -- and later four -- goals under the heading for that day. Having the goals did not always mean that I completed them. However, they gave me some direction. I hope to create more meaningful and productive daily goals in the future. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I downloaded all seventy-four episodes through a torrent site. I watched two episodes per day. Then I stopped watching for some time. And then I continued. I have never liked television or shows of any kind. Monster changed that. I was drawn into the series by the characters. I enjoyed every episode. Read how I did it…

I am reading Getting Things Done now. I have succeeded in adjusting to the texture of the cover. I have read approximately fifty pages. I continue to read.
I am ashamed to admit that I do not own a suit. At this time, however, I do not have much money to spend. Therefore, I visited Goodwill this afternoon in search of a suit for myself.
My time there was limited, given that I had scheduled an appointment later in the afternoon, and so I found only a black suit jacket and a dress shirt. Both fit. Both are in good condition. I am pleased.
When I have more time, I will return to seek trousers and a tie.
