2016 Week Two: The next list
Last Week I posted about my first week of trying a one-week resolution. This was my alternative to the standard New Years Resolution.

Did you forget to start?

As I mentioned before, the Mayans were wrong and now we have to deal with it. Your task for this week, come up with 3 goals that you’re going to work on, and write them down! Send a copy to three friends to keep you accountable. Get to it!
Last post of 2012

If you’re anything like me, you were banking on the Mayans calling it correctly, and you haven’t even thought about 2013, much less what you’ll do better in the new year. Luckily, I uncovered an lost Mayan rumor that taught me a valuable lesson about resolutions. […]
