Day 1: The Story So Far

Okay.

I just typed a long post. The computer promptly deleted it. This one will be significantly shorter.

This is a daily blog. It's my attempt to use my obsessive tendencies to become a better, more impressive person - both in the sense of doing impressive, unusual things (writing hip hop music, running ten kilometres a day) and being a responsible adult (tidying my room, maintaining a consistent exercise regimen). I have an obsessive nature that means I can do amazing things but too often that obsessive nature distracts me from my work.

(For example, from Saturday to Wednesday of last week, I was reading books #29-#54 of the Animorphs series. I got nothing done.)

This blog is about becoming obsessive about working in general. Each day, I will work towards one of my many goals and then post the results here. I hope to have people comment on the process so I can become better at what I do. Primarily, though, I just want to develop a good, focussed work ethic and become a better person. I know that sounds lame. I can't really do much about that, though.

For day 1, I thought I'd list several of the things I'm hoping to work on through this blog:

1) Secure more permanent employment (I literally have no idea how much money I made last week.)
2) Work on my music (I make hip hop music - it doesn't suck, I promise)
3) Write my play
4) Maintain a consistent exercise regimen (one of my more recent obsessions)

And plenty of other stuff. Today, I managed to put some time into 2-4. I finished off a remix for Mr Maps, I set up a meeting to discuss my play (with someone who knows way more about this shit than I do) and I crammed in my standard 90minutes of exercise.

Till tomorrow.

Also, fuck computers.
