Thanks to a few systems I’ve got in place right now, the ongoing Google Wave with Dave project and Hiro’s class in keeping your sorry ass from getting sucked into the internet, I’ve been paying a lot more attention to where I place my attention. This gets painful in spots, mainly because of my inability [...]
resolutions
As one of my 10 goals in 2010+ is “Get back on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet 100%,” I probably should have spent Fat Tuesday whooping it up with all of the sugar, rice, wheat, chocolate, potatoes and etcetera (lots and lots of “etcetera” on the SCD) I won’t be able to eat anymore. Instead, I [...]
Just before the end of the past year, I decided to forgo my usual habit of cramming my annual planning into the most riotously busy time of the year. Hence, “December in January,†where I spend the first month of the chronological new year planning my own, to begin in February. Of all the things [...]

Hence, “December in January,†where I spend the first month of the chronological new year planning my own, to begin in February. I’m deeply enmeshed in [...]

You will look better with that 32″ waist eating more fresh fruits and vegetables sleeping eight hours nightly doing first things first and getting many things done. You might feel righteous and virtuous and even gleeful with squeaky-clean windows and a clutter-free car and a bright white sink empty of contents Your friends and your [...]
I’ll admit it flat-out: I’m a bit chagrined by last year’s goal-post title. To be fair, it wasn’t a total wash. Out of ten goals I set for myself last January, I fulfilled seven. Fairly good, percentage-wise. Especially since much of the year, I wasn’t consciously trying. Such is the truly awesome power of just [...]
I’ve alluded before to Best Year Yet on this here bloggy, but for those of you who missed class and/or are too f**king lazy to click the links or Google it, Best Year Yet is a values-based goal-setting system which I discovered via Heidi Miller’s podcast long ago, and which could just as rightly be [...]
I’ve spoken before about how resolutions blow big, stinky chunks, but only hinted at how goal-setting can really work. If you are over 40 or a realist (I am in the former camp, but hardly the latter), you doubtless understand too well that there is no one book or system or piece of software that [...]
