#GetHawt Habits
This is just a quick note in preparation of the #GetHawt competition beginning tomorrow.
The bad habit that I will be giving up is tweeting and facebooking while driving. Although I live in a rural area and this is relatively easy today with the slightly slower paced lifestyle (trust me I do not do it when I am in the city), I know that it is dangerous and sets a bad example for my young teenage driving children. This will be a very hard habit to break, trust me!
The new habit that I will starting is helping out around the house. Since I started back to school last year, I have pretty much neglected my household duties, paying teenagers to do them for me. With blogging, school work, overtime, video games and my wife, the house needs some serious TLC from me. I have a long list of honey-dos to get to.
I have no real exceptions to the food although I am not real clear on the portion size that constitutes a meal. I see the spreadsheet with the individual portion sizes but who knows how many of those make up a meal. Help?
Excellent Article Entitled – Why I Blog – The Atlantic
Today marks the completion of six months of daily blogging. I am half way through my goal of 365 days of blogging. It has definitely become a habit that I do not want to break, although I think next year I will reduce the goal to 5-7 blogs per week so that I am not a slave to the blog. I think some days the posts are forced out of necessity to meet a goal. This will allow some flexibility if I am just not feeling like I have anything to say that day.
I found this excellent article entitled Why I Blog in The Atlantic magazine. The quote that spoke to me was:
“Blogging is therefore to writing what extreme sports are to athletics: more free-form, more accident-prone, less formal, more alive. It is, in many ways, writing out loud.”
Enjoy!
