Sadly, this is not the first time I have tried my hand at blogging. I was actually really good at keeping up with it for the first 5 days, but then it fell apart. The old blog still exists, but it is sad. Don't even bother.
My usual excuse for why I can't keep up with a blog is work. I get too busy at times to even make it home for dinner or get more than 3 hours sleep, so how can I be expected to keep up with a blog?? (Coincidentally, this is also my excuse for not going to the gym. But that's valid, right? Right? Anyone?) But this time will be different... I tell myself. This time, there is an actual goal involved.
I have been working on a Day Zero Project list for myself - making a list of 101 things that I want to do in 1001 days. That basically gives me 2.75 years to complete all of these goals, starting the day that I finish my list. That's the hard part. After working on this list for about a week, I am up to 90 goals without seeming to be able to figure out the last few. Arg! I don't want to cheat and put on things I am already working on or that I know I will do over the next 1001 days. I was reading other people's lists and thought terrible things about them when I saw lame goals like "get a haircut" or "be nice to my brother". And I don't want to include things like "get married" or anything else that is currently in the works. I feel like that's cheating.
So hopefully I will figure out a few more things so that I can finish my list over the next few days and get this puppy up and running. And by doing so, I will be making this list public so I will look like an ass if I either fail to keep up with the blog, or if I fail to get anything on my list accomplished, and mama doesn't want to look like an ass. That's my motivation. For now.
Fingers crossed.
