Aaron's daily check-in
Posted: Mon Jul 28, 2008 9:45 pm
About me: Earlier this summer I parted ways with two years of work on a PhD in business management (not entirely my idea). I did not enjoy my time, and did not foresee enjoy myself in that career, so it's probably a good thing that I'm no longer in the program. Even though this decision was made over a month ago, they're paying me through the end of August. Which is great. But it has also allowed me to indulge in one of my greatest problems - sloth. I'm very good at not doing much (well, my version of not much. In the past month I've probably read a dozen to twenty books, a few of them large tomes on the Roman Empire).
My goal from now until the month of August is to employ the daily punch card. That means that every evening I will 1) report the % of the items on my punch card I completed & 2) draw up the next day's punch card.
Instead of just success and failure, I'm going to go with the personal olympics style reporting. If I get 100% of my items accomplished, that's a gold, 80% is silver and 60% or more is bronze. Below that is failure.
Just wrote up my punch card for tomorrow. Four items. Seems immensely do-able.
Rock, rock on,
Aaron
