Groundhog Resolutions Redux Review Day 1
In April of last year, I made a belated entry into Dave Seah’s Ground Hog Day Resolutions movement. Along with Dave and some of his disciples, I decided to do something similar again in 2008, but with some twists of my own.
Last month I resolved to start each week with a timetable of how I planned to spend time for the coming week.
How’d it go?
Right after I wrote up the resolution, I got caught up in trying to get ahead of myself with paid work so that I could comfortably take a week off to move house again. That was two weeks of pure work, eat & sleep with just enough time in between to take a shower. The next week went into packing up all my worldly possessions in Manila, traveling across the international date line via Guam and Hawaii back into Florida. It would have been nice to take a day or two to recover from the 14 hour time difference, and unpack into a new apartment, but first of all we had a 5 day bike ride through 4 states… more about that in another post.
Result: FAIL
What went wrong?
In short, I didn’t even plan a timetable, let alone try to stick to one. Bah.
What to do about it?
Next week — when things are settling down again, and I’ve actually got some kind of chance of setting up a routine at the beginning of the week that I’ll be able follow for a week or two — I’ll actually write up a timetable.
So, next month, I’ll have something a bit more interesting to report…
