Flicking through my feeds this morning, I discovered (via skipp.net) that today is International Day of Awesomeness. Looking through Scott's list of things that are awesome, I realised I too have a bunch of things and people in my life that I think are awesome and/or regularly perform feats of awesomeness. While this realisation seems pretty obvious in retrospect, it's one of those things that just needs pointing out before you take the time to think about it.
Reading a little further, I discover that the day is at least partly inspired by The Show with Ze Frank, probably the ... more
9/9 - GHD Review
§
Assuming this acutally gets posted today (it will, I'm sure it will) I've actually managed to string together a run of two GHD Reviews. And not only that, I've put them online on the day they're supposed to go online.
Looking at my goals from the 8/8(/8) review it seems I haven't really achieved any of them (surprise, surprise). But, I do think I'm getting better - maybe. Probably better in some areas and worse in others.

8/8(/8) - A not very repetitive Groundhog Day Review
§
I seem to suffer from intermittent, but persistent bouts of Chronic Inaction. My GHD Resolutions have been a total failure. My 3/3 Review, the last one I did, said I’ve decided that the solid establishment of one major habit per month should be achievable. Wrong!
As usual, David Seah, the father of GHD Resolutions is kicking along very strongly. His 7/7 review was ridiculously detailed. I might as well give up now, but I won't.
My somewhat pared down set of goals for the coming months are:
Shower in the evenings1
Shave, everyday2 - I've been a total scrubber of ... more
GHD Resolutions 3/3
§
Well, the first GHD Resolutions review day is here and, I'll be honest, I've not made a great start. The main problem is that I only really bedded down my resolutions a couple of days ago, so I haven't had that much time to actually implement any of the changes.
I've decided that the solid establishment of one major habit per month should be achievable. And I'll try and throw in some smaller, very achievable habits each month to make sure I'm not neglecting any of my resolutions.
