This is a story I wrote during my MIT years. Except for a small change to obscure the name’s of some lotus eaters, I have resisted the urge to edit the writings of my teenage self. Enjoy.

Yes I am woefully behind on my blog (and my improvement program).

I most definitely did not do what I said I was going to do in March. So what have I learned from my failures? 1. Pick one thing and one thing only – especially for compliance reporting.For some reason I had assumed that you should/could build on tracking the habits you are developing. This doesn’t [...]

I have been taking on a lot of new habits lately which I can list in a later post. The habit I need to create for myself is the thing I am not doing – getting to bed on time.
I am waking up every morning at 7 and I really need to try and get [...]
