Could it be time for a shake-up?

Monday, May 10th, 2010

30 days of new habits certainly seems like a very long time when you’re staring down the barrel of day 1.

I’ve heard experts that say that 30 days is enough time to develop new habits and if you do a thing for 30 days that it will stick. Well, it’s worth a try I suppose…

So what am I going to do for the next 30 days?

  1. Exercise!
  2. I’m going to……exercise! Being a self-employed designer/techie/entrepreneur means that I sit at my desk all.day.long – and on the weekends I vid out with a bit of WoW, which means sitting around on the weekend too. Clearly evolution did not set us up with big butts to sit on all day (or did it?>>>) and so doing some exercise every day is a big step to not turn into a blob. I eat really well (vegan/vegetarian) and I think that if I didn’t I’d be enormous, and sometimes I have little bad girl snacks (mmmm soft australian liquorice, or mmmm banana bread) and I worry about overall cardiovascular health so I propose to do exercise every day, in some shape or form. Mostly I’ll be doing hokey workout videos with music I detest, but sometimes I’ll crack out the NYC Ballet workout and maybe even go for a run (I stress the maybe).

  3. Blog!
  4. I also resolve to blog at least once a day, on any one one of my 4 blogs. One article per day on every one of them I think is too much but 30 days will give me at least a good start at building quality content and get me to a stage where I want to promote them (watch this space).

  5. eBay Selling
  6. At one stage, I was an eBay Powerseller (which I find semi-hilarious so feel free to laugh) – and now I have a house full of stuff which I am “planning” on selling. I think that if I create listings every day for 30 days that ought to be enough to put a dent in my pile, and who knows, perhaps I will continue to sell after the 30 days.

  7. Stop skipping meals
  8. Sometimes I get busy, and eat “lunch” at 4 pm. Henceforth, I am going to have an observed lunch hour (she says at 2:30pm).

Well, I will report back in 30 days (probably) and see how I’m doing. I’m hoping to be a few pounds lighter and infinitely more productive. There is always hope, right? ;)
