As the days passes and one success followed another I already thought this would end as a smooth ride. Today I realised even such a simple thing has it hard moments. Normally I would ‘celebrate’ the coming weekend by vegging out on the couch. TV on, bag of crisps at hand. Today the ‘natural’ urge [...]

Tracking advantages
April 22nd, 2008 No Comments
It’s been a week since I last posted my habit statistics. I’ve been on a long weekend of origami folding and during the weekend I noticed how important tracking is to stick to your habit.
Until last Wednesday I was doing fine and not eating after 20.30h was becoming normal. I decided that I didn’t need [...]

Slowly building a habit
April 14th, 2008 No Comments
I know it sounds premature, but with yesterday’s success I have more success than failures. I felt bad yesterday, no energy. Don’t know why but it’s one of those days that I would grab a bag of crisps and try to eat the misery away. Not that it would help. Yesterday I decided that instead [...]

My first success

I was determined to get a success yesterday and the restaurant sure helped. The meal was gorgeous and I must have eaten a bit [...]

Adjusting the plan
April 12th, 2008 2 Comments
After the failure of last night I decided to reread, more thoroughly this time, the post at Zenhabits. This time I read the comments too, since they often give more information and/or put the post in perspective. I decided that it would be time to adjust my plan. Some elements described in the Zenhabits post [...]

Learning the hard way
April 12th, 2008 No Comments
Ok, so I failed yesterday. I guess I need to learn it the hard way. While getting the groceries I came across a new flavor of crisps. I’m a sucker for testing new things, so I had to buy it. My grown-up side told me that it would most probably result in breaking my own [...]

One habit at a time
April 11th, 2008 No Comments
Sometimes I rate the validity of information by the number of times I come across it on my endless surfing quests. One habit at a time is such a nugget that I’ve read a few times now in the last week. It basically explains why my numerous attempts to impose new habits, or get rid [...]

A new start
April 11th, 2008 No Comments
I’ve been pondering over this for some time now. Today I decided to take action and change this dormant blog into something more active.
It was a tell-tale sign that I forgot the password to the blog and more so the drafts I found that were over 2 years old. Publishing one on my Getting Things [...]
