Resolution Revolution

How'd That Trial Week/Month Go???

Pretty much exactly a month ago today, a week before New Year's, I gave myself a week to try out some resolutions for the New Year before committing to resolve.

A week turned into a month, so where am I at with this trial?


1 I resolve to organize my magazine collection.

Started in on that tangle mess, trying to find a certain magazine, hours latter I had done more damage than good. That said it needs happen.

Verdict: I Resolve.

2 I resolve to cook 2 new recipes a week from the many books and magazines that have taken residence under my roof.

I have in fact done quite well on this.

Verdict: I Resolve


3 I resolve to chisel out some six-pack abs... by whatever means necessary,(baring medical procedures and spray tanning)

A chest cold and the rain have derailed my training, lame excuses I know but after attending the Fitness Expo yesterday I got inspired. That coupled with resolution 2.

Verdict: I resolve

4 By ends year 2010 have posted 365 entries

Pretty good on this one

Verdict: I resolve

5. Get my website, "Jon-Of-All-Trades" up and running

Goose egg on this one, but like magazine organization, MUST happen


Verdict: I resolve


5 Get Back Yard Buddies up and running

Too Busy to do anything real about this but public interest is high


Verdict: I resolve


6. Pursue Educational Co-op Opportunities

Starting to teach an Ecology 101 class tomorrow for other home schoolers and Skye

Verdict: I resolve


7. One long run each week

See above excuse for 6 pack abs. However I never really loved running, at least not a regular basis.

Verdict: I am not resolved to commit.

8. Juijitsu class or training at least 2 times a week

See excuse that keeps on excusing, however have paid for classes and love it

Verdict: I resolve

9 Get out of the country at some point

Yes, yes, yes

Verdict: I resolve


10 Finish all animal housing


I can't let the rabbits deaths to be in vein.

Verdict: I resolve.

11 Patch holes through out house from previous explorations

Don't want my marriage to be in vein.


Verdict: I resolve

12. REDUCE PROJECTS AND LISTS TO SOMETHING SANE & MANAGEABLE!

It goes totally against my nature and instincts.

Verdict: I can not with a clear conscience resolve to be sane or manageable


So how did that trial period work out?

11 out of 13 proposals hang tough.

Let's see how they stack up in another 6 months.
