Here I go a-waffleing

I'm tinkering with my list for the coming year and I'm debateing somethings.

Not really wether to do them. These are things I sort of have to try my hand at. The issue is how to make it a goal.

See when I made the list last year most of the things I got a technical victory on were because of the rigid wording I used for them. If I'd set the goal of getting a computer in the year rather then a wireless laptop then it would have been easier.

So I'm looking at my wording carefully this year. I like to think of it as making a contract with myself and to say I'll do something is to put my honor on the issue. I don't know how others feel about it but when I say I'll do something I feel it's my duty to uphold my commitment.

So to say that I will be doing a word puzzle a day, or to say I'll do 7 word puzzles a week makes a differance to me.

One of the other things I worry about is commiting myself to one project to rigidly defined and not be able to alter it to suit the real need for the project. A good example of this is my having said that I would design a new origami design each month for the year... and having to realise it was more suited to my needs to fold a new pattern rather then design my own for each one. And on top of it I made it about origami and left out other paper craft projects which now look to be something of value to me.

I'll post my rough draft list tomorrow.
take care of yourselves,
Roving Jack
