A Resolution Edit

You know, I've been thinking. Resolutions are so hard to make happen. But there's one resolution I really want to work on this year, and that is doing stuff.

There are a load of talkers in the world. They just talk all day about going places, reading books, making things happen. But when it comes down to it, nothing ever gets done... because that's the thing--they are just talkers.

I don't want to be a talker. I want to plan things out, and follow through. Be proactive and stop wasting time. Life is short.

Instead of telling my mom that I will do the dishes in 10 minutes, I shall just get up after dinner to clean up and put everything away. Instead of telling my friends we should do something, we will actually do something (this has gotten better since people have started driving though). And instead of saying I'm going to practice clarinet or finish a book, I will do both without hesitation. Also, I will do my Calculus homework as opposed to thinking/talking about doing it eventually.

So let's say that my number one priority this year is to do more and talk less and lessen the procrastination.

Pfft. We'll see how long this lasts.
