Gonna re-start a log as it gives me a little more focus. These are the goals I am working on. I know 3 goals at a time is ideal, but 3 & 4 are pretty much down already so it's just a case of keeping up the work there.
Habit Goals:
1. No S
2. Glass Ceiling
3. 20 minutes of daily exercise
4. some kind of daily meditation
5. weekend luddite*
*No internet except banking, email and this log from 9-6 weekdays....
To give myself a nice target to aim at, I want 80% success at these for the next 100 days.

100 days worked for me much more effectively than 21 days which is more common here. I hope you enjoy the same success.
I love your screen name. Are you Welsh?

thanks for the encouragement... yes, well spotted on the screen-name. It's the title of an old welsh epic poem. Well, Celtic if not specifically welsh.

Doesn't Y Goddodin have one of the earliest mentions of King Arthur, or am I misremembering that?
