Oh Yes Habits

So it's a new month and time to start that second habit...

I've been pondering it for a little while and decided that habit 2 is going to be "being sensible"... sounds boring I know but it's kind of needed. I've had a few too many migraines this year, usually due to tiredness. I have a fiancee who has an important job that entails getting up early. And generally I'm a better person when I've had a good amount of sleep.

So my aim where possible, on a school night is to be in bed by 11pm, or midnight at the latest, there will always be exceptions, that's allowed of course but generally I want to be sensible!

In other habit news, I'm pretty much in the habit of reading the bible on the train either to or from work... which is great for 5 days a week, problem is on the weekends where I struggle, specifically saturday. But this is about sustainability, so 5 outta 7 is pretty good, isn't it?!

Breaking Things One New Habit At A Time

So I was chatting with Vikki the other day and she said she'd read in a book(thanks Mum, I will read it myself at some point) that it takes 21 days to form a habit... This as is my bent got me thinking. And thus I have set myself a challenge. Every month for the next year I am going to try and create a new habit. So come September 2011 I will have (hopefully) 12 new good habits.

Yesterday being the 1st of September I started day 1 of reading the bible in a year. This is my first habit - reading the bible every day.

I have a few ideas for some of the other habits; Working on the novel, jogging etc. But plenty of scope for thinking about new ones. If anyone has any amusing, sensible, serious, out there or in there suggestions feel free.
