First Post

This year I turned 26 in April and, while still caught in the throws of a quarter-life crisis, I thought it a good time to re-evaluate my life. While my situation has changed a great deal from my early twenties (I’ve moved to London and become a physics teacher) I feel much like the same person. Trying to change how I live and act on a daily basis — how to change habits — is a hard thing to do.

I’m starting this blog as a motivator to begin small changes in my life. To trial them out and see if they’re worth sticking to. I came across an idea in Steve Pavlina’s blog: instead of deciding to change a habit for the rest of your life, and inevitably failing, just try it out for one month. No pressure, no strings attached. If you don’t like the change, ditch it.

So, in my 26th year, I’m setting myself goals, one a month, and chronicling my progress in this blog. I don’t expect to always be able to make it, to reach all the goals, but I’ll try.

Well -

You're a hero, and don't need to concentrate on How to become what you want; you already are. Just simply elaborate on what you want to make more of - and if you elaborate on How, you'll make more of How. Do you really want to take advice from one dude who says with a straight face that "astral projection is real" (and whose wife gives hotel readings) or another who has an absurdly complex organizational system that you propose to take a month to conquer?

Based on your output, you're already leagues beyond these guys. Elaborate on it, and don't jerk off your twenties.

Avoiding split infinitives is a good goal.

Those who criticize the use of split infinitives tend to more than triple the extent to which they appear silly.
