I'm going to set two goals each month, an larger goal that requires fixed blocks of time to complete, and a smaller goal that reqires some sort of simple tracking.
For the larger goal, I will set aside 15 minutes, 5 days a week to work. For that 15 minutes, I'll set a timer. When the timer goes off, I'm done for the day. This will prevent both burn-out, and getting involved in the project to the exclusion of my "regular" chores. One day each week, I'll set aside 2-3 hours to work on the project. This will give me time to finish larger aspects of the project. I'll take one day off per week completely. Agian, this is to prevent burn-out.
To meet the smaller goal, I'll keep a small notebook with me to record my progress, I'll post that information here as I go.

I need your help with this project. Please help me remain accountable. If I haven't posted in a few days, bug me about it. If you have suggestions for improvements, projects, etc, let me know. If you're participating too, let me know that as well.

I'll put up details for January's project. I'll set it to post at Midnight. Happy New Year.

I've got an idea for the new year. It's going to be ambitious, and I'm going to need your help. There are things I need to get better at in my life, and like any habit, good or bad, it takes time to make them, and time to break them. I'm going to set a challenge for myself each month. Post it here on the first, and then post my progress throughout the month. On the last day of the month, I'll do a summary. Did I reach my goal and will I stick with it in the future? I'll be asking for encouragement, and if you're willing and interested, perhaps you can participate along with me.

These are a few of my initial ideas:
Finance: Record all of my discretionary spending for the month. (Snacks, movies, dining out, etc.) Goal: reduce spending to a fixed amount per week.
Health: Record everything I eat for the month. Goal: Reduce (or eliminate) snacking.
Health: Record my exercize for a month (perhaps get a pedometer). Goal: Consistantly get a minimum 20 minutes of exercize 5 days a week.
Organization: Organize and pare down my collections (CDs, Photos, Files) Goal: reduce space needed.

I'm open to suggestions for what to work on (they don't all have to be big, important plans).

The final aspect of accountability for this is that each month, I will set aside a sum of money (probably $10-20) which, at the end of the month will go to a charity chosen by you, if I don't reach my goal, or one chosen by me if I do.

Yeah, I know I redesign almost as often as I post, but I kind of like this one. It's the first light theme I've done in a long time. I think it's simple and clean. The picture in the corner is a painting my grandmother did. It's awsome. I've got some things I'm going to try to do in the new year, we'll see how it goes.

Let me know what you think.
