The first Thursday of each month my company has our infrastructure meeting; we go over how things have been, clients, business, etc etc. Today we branched out and did something a bit different toward the end and watched a couple of TED videos.
For any of you not in the know, TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) is, as they put it, "a nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. The two annual TED conferences, in Long Beach/Palm Springs and Edinburgh, Scotland, bring together the world's most fascinating thinkers and doers, who are challenged to give the talk of their lives (in 18 minutes or less)." We watched this video here, and it got me to thinking.
I normally suck with New Years resolutions; I'll stick with them for a bit and then futz out after a month or two. This 30 days thing got me thinking about it in a different way. (Credit where credit is due, Malia mentioned doing this last year and getting through about half of it, so the idea was bouncing around already.)
Anyway, moral of the story is, for the duration of 2013, I'm going to commit to one life change or new thing 12 times for 30 days at a time.
Starting yesterday, January 2nd, I'm running every day for the rest of January. I'm currently two days in and have made it only about 1.33 miles per day so far as I hadn't run for probably a month and a half before that and apparently being 30 has caught up with me a bit. The big test will see how climbing stairs at Delivery Agent goes tomorrow.
