Don't Break the Chain

Heyo!

New Year. What naturally comes next in a DIY world? New Year's resolutions. The next question is...did you make any this year? The answer that follows is usually yes, I do them or no that is stupid.

I have not put much stock in them. If I want changes in my life. I want to start NOW. If I do not then nothing happens. Not when I schedule it. Not even late, simply never. But then I realized that while I do not need to start anything at New Years, it is helpful with one thing: consistency. A year is simply a measure of time. Thus when
 

Based off of this, I am going to try these calendars for a year, and see how it goes. Keeping in mind that I am horrible with lists and any new thing, if I can do it, so can you.


Here are somethings that help me with prioritizing.

1. Some things do not need to be

This may seem counter productive, but for me things like brushing teeth just happen. DO NOT WORRY ABOUT THESE THINGS. Like remember to eat, but don't freak out about it.

2. Prioritize the Priorities

This is totally not redundant. It is work. I printed five calendars, that is probably too many. I plan to REALLY SERIOUSLY use, like, two. Because two helping me, is better than five collecting dust. It is all about how realistic you are about you/life.

3. Be Accountable

Start by putting your goal somewhere that you see it. Like all the time. Second is telling another person and having them hound you about it. Or compete with you. However this is harder, because you have to find a motivated person. And that is hard to find (not even sure that I would be consider 'motivated') Anyway, ask lots, expect nothing and be grateful with what you get.

And there you go.

That is how you 'don't break the chain' and that is how I plan to use it to be productive. Have fun!


Side thought:

This blog was much more 'normal' blog and less stream of conscious...this might be yet another new thing that may or may not last. It all depends on where it is prioritized in my life. The past you know, but the future is fresh.
