Aw, Dang

I broke the blogpact. I went eight days without blogging. I didn’t mean to do it, but it just happened.

So, here I am again, frantically typing out a shit post so I can abide by at least the letter, if not the spirit, of the pact. Ah, yes.

So, what’s on my mind lately? Well, I had a cold. It was at its worst on Thursday and Friday, but I’m still in the sick zone. No kisses for any of you. I’m sorry.

Still barely keeping abreast of my Beeminder goals. It turns out these goals take a lot of time. I’m not sure I feel more creative or more accomplished for the mere fact of keeping up with them. Makes me wonder if I need better goals, or maybe I just need more time. Example: I’ve been practicing guitar every day for over a month. I would have thought that I’d be awesome by now, but I’m maybe just a teeny bit better. Then again, give it a year or two: maybe I’ll see some real progress. I think I’d like to take a break from my goals, but the only way to do that would probably be to build up a little buffer.

I also wonder if I’m neglecting other things I need to do, like buying chains for the tires on our minivan.

Nevertheless, I think I’ll keep riding these goals out, just to see what happens. I’ve never done a sustained, self-driven goal committment like this before, and I’m curious to see the outcome.
