Time Audit

I feel like I need to do a time audit for how I am spending my time. For a whole week I should keep track of how I spend every hour. That way I could create a time budget. I could figure out where my hours are going.

Lately I have felt that time is more important. I feel really bad about wasting time. I feel that I have to make the most of my time. I guess I am figuring out that time will not last forever. I feel that I need to make more of my time.

What does Blogging Mean?

Blogger now has over 1 Million Registered Users. I wonder what that means. I would love to see the break out of those numbers. What is the average number of Blogs per user? What is the total number of blogs? How many of those registered users visit every week or every month? How many people care about the idea of blogs as a way to publish websites? I think all those numbers together might mean something.

New Year Resolution Blues

It is time to find out how well I did on last year's New Year's Resolutions.

New Years Resolution - # 1

I resolve to clean up and organize my apartment and keep it until the end of 2002.

Result: Archived (sort of)! I moved in September. From January to September, my apartment was really a mess. Since I moved I have been able keep my apartment clean. I will take this as a win.

New Years Resolution - # 2

I resolve to finish 100 pages of a novel by the end of the year.

Result: Failed! I did not write any pages of a novel in 2002. Almost all of my writing went into this blog.

New Years Resolution - # 3

I resolve to write a letter to everyone I am in regular contact with in the next 12 months.

Result: Failed! I think I wrote a total of three letters last year.

New Years Resolution - # 4

I resolve to be more careful with the way I spend cash.

Result: Failed! I spent money like a drunken sailor for most of the year. My cash flowed out of my pockets like water.

New Years Resolution - # 5

I resolve to ** ** **** ** *** **** *** ** **** **** *** ***** ***.

Result: Unknown! I have not been keeping track of this. My guess is that I did not archive my goal, but I do not really know.

New Years Resolution - # 6

I resolve to try to make San Jose more of a home

Result: Archived! My new apartment, Hanging out with Eric, going to Live Journal and Blogger meetups have been part of making San Jose more of a home to me. It has been working. I need to carry on this year.

New Years Resolution - # 7

I resolve to waste less time doing nothing.

Result: Failed! I spent just as much time in 2002 watching TV and sitting around my apartment.

Overall Results 2-4-1

That is not too bad. I thought I had failed on all seven. That is better then most the people I know do. I feel encouraged to make more resolutions.

2003 Resolution #1

Host at least 25 poker nights this year.

2003 Resolution #2

Put at least 10 hours a week into my web logs.

2003 Resolution #3

By the end of the year have a plan for the 5 years of my life.

2003 Resolution #4

Give out 100 Mix CDs.

Travel Notes 1/5/03

The extra day

I am so happy I am taking a day to get back into the swing of things here in San Jose. Most of the time I push my days off to the max. I have slept a lot today. It would have been bad if I had to go to work. I might have just called in sick. I need to remember this the next time I take time off.
