Viva La Procrastination!

It still is a good idea (and not just because I helped think of it). It's just unfortunate that none of us have the willpower to make it work. Would be easier if we had some kind of watchdog system to monitor progress. Then again, that kind of defeats the goal of being resolute enough to monitor ourselves.

Let's start slow. Look on the bright side, at least we can't start any slower. Ok, let's not tempt ourselves. So here goes, the first rule, part of the few I was supposed to make at the start of this year:

1) Everyone post 1 resolution a month. Explain how you intend to do it. Post all progress reports, along with some kind of proof of progress.

If anyone has any suggestions, feel free to post, ya, and we'll see how the rules list grows. (Yay, just dodged responsibility!)

My first resolution is... to stop procrastinating. How do I intend to do it? Just... stop. Especially since my job deals with meeting deadlines and bugging people to meet them.

I'm such a terrible procrastinator, it's not even funny. You know it's bad when you're too lazy to sleep. Like when you're reading and can barely keep your eyes open, after 5 pages, you realise that nothing you've "read" has sunk in. But you're still too lazy to "go to bed," because that would require doing the whole bedtime ritual and worse... actually getting off your arse! So eventually, you black out completely and when you wake, it's almost dawn and the lights are still on.

I have no idea how I'm going to prove this. Well, seeing as Boon Ying is my colleague and she sits right across from me... :)

Bloody hell. I just realised how COMPLEX this resolution is! For example, I've always meant to lose weight again... this covers that, too! -.- Oh well, better now than never.

And yes, I have verbal diarrhoea.

Introduction: Long Live the Resolution!

Originally, this weblog was initiated for the sole purpose of tracking our resolutions. At first, all these ideas came out of nowhere, and they were mostly good ideas from the three of us whereby the resolutions here would have to be updated and comments and help would be associated to each item (an item hereby referred to as a 'resolution').

Unsurprisingly, and also unfortunately, as soon as these ideas flew in from nowhere, they also doubled back to their origin. For a moment, having the idea felt good. It felt as though we would really change our lives--not so much for the change but more for the betterment of our own days--our own views of ourselves; my own view of myself; or just any view at all.

So, here is me, staying true to something for a change. And instead of procrastinating further, I will try to materialise these resolutions and ideas. I must try to stick to something. I've stayed away from writing so long that I feel that I must resume something. I've lost something, and now I am on some fool's mission to reclaim it.

And who the hell knows if this resolution-keeper-tracker thing is going to help me get there, but I must stick to it. It is one of those better ideas that I've heard about this year. So, here we go.
