I&#039;d like this year to write and publish something that I feel could make me some pocket money.  Whether it does or not, well, I don&#039;t control that.\n<li>New mantra:  Complete the bad stuff so there&#039;s more time for the good stuff.  At any given time I&#039;ve got a good dozen projects running around my brain.  Some work, some personal.  Some practical, some blue sky.  Some take two minutes, some take two years.  Whenever I focus on one, particularly one of the &#034;have to get done&#034; ones, I have a horrible habit of spending all my mental energy thinking &#034;As long as I&#039;m working on this, I&#039;m not working on [other, probably more fun project].&#034;  And when I do allow myself time to work on the fun ones, I&#039;m inevitably thinking &#034;Man, I should really get back to the boring have-to-do and just do it.&#034;  So, I don&#039;t win on either end.  My new goal is to tackle one project at a time and stay focused on it until I make meaningful progress.  I won&#039;t say &#034;finish&#034;, because often you&#039;ll hit a wall where you can&#039;t finish it right that moment.  But by making recognizable progress I&#039;ll at least feel better about putting it down and moving on to something else.\n<\/ul>\n<p\/>There you go, that&#039;s my list.  Consider it documented.  Who else wants to volunteer?<\/p>\n<p\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ok, here we go. Get back on the weight loss track and hit my goal weight.
