Working on it. 10 hours ago

Lately a few of my friends have been pointing out that I have changed, though I think they mean it in a good way. I have noticed this much myself as well. Some of the change is on purpose and some of it just happened.
You can’t just wake up one day and be a completely different person, but everyone changes over time. Most people change to go with their surroundings and be who they think they should be not who they want to be. I am getting tired of being this person. So many people sit around and complain about the state of the world, as they do nothing about it. I want to start doing something, starting with myself.

Ed Foreman’s 10 Commandments 1 day ago

1. Thou shall not worry, for worry is the most unproductive of all human activities.

2. Thou shall not be fearful, for fear makes us weak, doubtful and unproductive.

3. Thou shall not cross bridges before you get to them.

4. Thou shall be honest and trustworthy at all times, in all circumstances.Honesty is the mark of a great soul; dishonesty is despicable.

5. Thou shall not take problems to bed with you for they make very poor bedfellows.

6. Thou shall not borrow other people’s problems. They can take better care of them than you can.

7. Thou shall not try to relive yesterday for good or ill – it is gone. Concentrate on what is happening in your life today.

8. Thou shall count thy blessings, never overlooking the small ones, for a lot of small blessings add up to a big one.

9. Thou shall be a good listener, for only when you listen do you hear ideas different from your own. It’s hard to learn something new when you’re talking.

10. Thou shall not become bogged-down by frustration, for 90 percent of it is rooted in self-pity and it will only interfere with positive action.

ExtraHead back to the future!

Very vague this one... 4 weeks ago

...so I’d better muse over what this actually means for me.

I’ve always been weak with self discipline so notably stronger self discipline would be favourite.

That means planning my time so that this gives me the best chance to succeed.

The mornings are the best time to get new stuff into my head and my desktop pc (which is still working) has a very good keyboard which is much easier to use than the laptop pc.

So outline of normal weekday:-

  • wake up 5 mins (decide if it’s worth getting up – of course it is!)
  • get up 5 mins (slowly, so as to not unduly disturb other half)
  • son time delay 10 mins
  • wife time delay 10 mins
  • wash face 5 mins
  • shave 5 mins (5-10 mins more, if I cut myself!)
  • basic yoga 10 mins (necessary: stops my joints from ceasing up)
  • shower 5 mins
  • dry-off / deodorant 5 mins
  • get dressed 5 mins
  • eat breakfast 5 mins
  • prepare packed lunch 5 mins
  • review errands for the day 5 mins
  • self time delay 10 mins (I’m getting on, you know!)

That makes 5+5+10+10+5+5+5+5+5+5+10 = 70 mins

So to leave for work on time requires me to wake up at least 70 mins before I need to leave for work.

To get 50 mins of study (plus 5 mins setup and 5 mins pack away) means getting up 2 hours and ten minutes before I need to leave for work.

Well I can do that if it’s in the summer. Spring and fall would be troublesome and winter extremely difficult.

be a better person 4 weeks ago

Actually i believe that i am a good person but there is always room for improvement.

I would like to be more involved with my community and the people around me.

What is it that I should do to become a better person? Probably if I have to ask the question than I can not find the answer within myself.
