Today I take the first step in fighting this lethargy. I plan to simply post here in my blog each day and my goal is to be able to have at least one thing I am proud of doing to report each entry. Which would be a huge improvement over my current average of zero.
My rationale for posting here and not just putting this in txt files somewhere is I'd feel some degree of embarrassment or a greater sense of failure if I fail to make my quota of at least one useful thing done per day. Hopefully that sting will be enough to keep me motivated. If anyone wants to help, make sure I feel this sting. If I post with nothing accomplished that day, reply with the harshest criticism you can muster if you wish. I'll probably thank you later.
Anyway, thanks for reading my long winded rant/mission statement and thanks to evanthebouncy for the idea.
