This entry presents not only the changes I’ll be making for the coming year, but also the overall habits I have chosen to ignore or adapt. It was sort of a checklist I had written in my journal as I noticed that I should take all the habits I can think of under consideration.

Drugs: None, never have.

Medication: None, using ETF on pollen allergy this Spring.

Alcohol: None after year end, previously 1-2 times per month.

Gambling: None, broke this addiction in my mid teens.

Nicotine: None, never have.

Caffeine: None, have drunk about one cup in my whole life.

Vegan diet: Pending, haven’t made the choice to convert yet.

Polyphasic Sleep: Starting at year end.

Exercise: Mostly jogging, still requires a systematic schedule.

Task schedule: Starting at year end.

Financial statements: A year now.

Intuition: Progressively, fuzzy subject and can’t be systematized.

Reading: A book per week, recently started.

Listening: An hour of personal development audio per day.

Writing: Journaling/blogging covers this.

Public speaking: Toastmasters in 2007.

It’s that time of the year so make a similar list for yourself to address what you think and feel is important to improve in your life. A great way to make the habits interdependent and congruent with each other is to make a task schedule that takes several of them into account. Stay tuned for my entry on polyphasic sleeping as I’ll enclose a spreadsheet of my schedule, which includes other habits that require persistency.
