New Year's Resolutions for 2022 Part 2

on

One week in, and the New Year's Resolutions for 2022 that I posted previously are already a bit of a fail - I wasn't expecting anything else! But based on this post - Motivation: Is ... as easy as saying "I want/I don't want to do this" - I think we can tweak it to work. Mostly it was good, just a few of things:

  • I really don't think waking up at 0415 every day is feasible (a little later please.)
  • Effectively skipping lunch, and having my biggest meal in the evening, is not scientifically the best option.
  • I need to be clear in saying what I want and what I don't want!
  • A bit more time for myself (but I want to work)!
  • Also, keep pretty much the same regimen on weekends/holidays (where possible)

This regimen pretty much relies on working from home, but since most of my work has been from home recently (and probably will be for the next year), this is fine.
