Technically, I *am* root for the home team. Weird, huh?

4 Resolutions for 2012

My (current) 4 resolutions for 2012:

Each day in 2012, I will:

1) Eat a piece of fruit.
... or, more generally, "eat less crap, and more things that are good for me."

2) Run one mile.
... or, more generally, "habitually exercise regularly." Some days I'll run a 5k, and I hope to do a half-marathon, but 1 mile is easy and takes just a few minutes. I want to make it a habit.

3) Post something of substance on the internet.
... or, more generally, "cultivate my reputation and career as one of those internet-building people." Some days it'll be a blog post, sometimes a good photo, perhaps I'll answer someone's question on some other forum, or post code to GitHub. Make the internet better, and put a personal brand (one that I can be proud of) on my contributions.

4) Move one thing that's out of place to its proper home.
... or, more generally, "unclutter."
This can be "clean my desk", or "clean my Mac's desktop", or "rotate and compress server logs and delete spam", or "put your tools away in the garage", or "empty the flotsam from your overly-thick wallet", or "refactor your address book and calendar." It's easy enough to take a 2-minute break and find something -- anything, that's out of place, and nudge the life-pile towards order, rather than chaos.

These are the four, little steps that I'm going to try daily that I hope will make me a more efficient, less fat, happier person.

You?
