New Year - progress

I still have a hard time getting into bed at a reasonable time, it's 1.35am as I write this. Last night, I had 3.5 hours of sleep - a really clever trick to pull the night before the first day of work after the holidays. I knew we'd have a slow day, so no big harm done - except crashing on the couch for two hours in the afternoon is not something you'll recommend to anyone with kids. Not that mine would turn their surroundings into a havoc or anything, but it's always nice to be able to actually talk to your mother, if you know what I mean.. :/ 0 points.

I did not get up at the time I had set my clock, but since the kids stayed at home with their dad today I didn't have to get them dressed, make them sandwiches etc, and so there was no stress. 1 point. Still: I aim to be an early riser, making us all (a nice) breakfast before we head off for a long day away from home, so lots of room for improvement there.

I am taking part in the Project 365 over at flickr - I managed to get today's entry done half an hour before midnight.. 1 point.

I originally wanted to get a particular Moleskine for my first year of living by the GTD philosophy, but I think I've decided to go with my worn but loved Filofax in stead. I did not get into town when at work today to purchase that Moleskine (I looked for another one during the holidays and knew from that that they didn't have it - would've had to order it) - but I am going during tomorrow to get some new Filofax sheets. The weather is really nasty this week, freezing wind and hail/undercooled rain, which doesn't make it easier to leave the relatively warm office during lunch break.. Update tomorrow on how that went!

I have three freelance/personal commissions waiting since before Christmas to get finished, I got one of them done tonight. Not really sure if I deserve it, but ok: 1 point.

There are several other aspects of the GTD "thing" which I will add with time btw, like getting into a workout routine, going for a walk every day, take my kids on field trips more often etc, but I've wisely decided not to take it all on from day one.

Besides the GTD resolution, I also added "wearing lipstick every day". I went with lipgloss today, tomorrow I'll remember to freshen up on it more frequently! ;) 10 points. Hehe. Ok, not really pointworthy.
