1st Of The Month

It might be cliche, but I've always had better luck starting new projects or breaking old habits if I start on a "first." It could be the first day of a new year, week, month, whatever. I decided around lunch time yesterday, that June 1 would be a good day to start doing better.

Tomorrow is the last day of school for the campuses I handle. I'll still be working through the summer, but on 4 day work weeks. This extra time just happens to serendipitously line up with a surge in my desire to "get things done". I finally jumped into the home office project I've been talking about since...probably shortly after we moved into our house at the end of 2012. The garage is slowly (very slowly) turning into a usable space. I've been working my way into more cooking at home and doing some meal prep, and I want to continue getting better at both cooking and also keeping up that routine. Of course, being more physically active is always on the list of goals, and teaching Max how to ride his bike sounds like a great way to get up and get moving.

This post might not be very interesting, but it is as much about me getting out some of my thoughts, goals, and motivations in a place where I can look, and to use them as reminders when I'm hitting a wall. Also, having them out publicly adds another layer of accountability. I may not get many readers/visitors, but I know that this is here.

That's about all I've got for now, but there will be more soon.
