Mike's Blabberings

Going against a prior thought I had, in which I told myself to make a single important resolution and stick to it for the year, my 2009 resolution is to make a new habit each month and stick to it for 30 days. After reading Leo’s The Power of Less, I was inspired to do such.

Rules:

• Habit shall be something simple I would like to improve about myself.
• I will list the habit here on this blog, making myself accountable to the interwebs.
• Progress shall be trackable and measured daily.
• Results will be posted.

For January, I will change my sleeping behavior in order to wake up earlier each workday. Through most of 2008, I found myself not awaking until nearly 8am on weekdays, missing out on a great part of the day. I will strive to awake before 7am each day, giving me time to relax and have a cup of coffee prior to starting my commute. Today was my first day, and it was with only a minor struggle that I managed to pull myself out of bed at 6:54, after snoozing my alarm only once!
