The Premise

I'm pretty bad at running my life.

I think there are a lot of very small things, things that take almost no effort, that would improve my life. Often, I tell myself that I will start doing these things, but I never do.

The goal of this blog is to change that. Here's the idea: By this coming Sunday, all blog members pick something they want to do differently in their lives and post what it is to the group. Then every day each person reports on how (s)he is progressing. Hopefully this accountability will help us make Minor Lifestyle Improvements (MLIs). On the following Sunday, each member can (1) decide (s)he has made a MLI and choose another thing to work on during the coming week, (2) decide (s)he has not yet made an MLI and choose to try again during the coming week, or (3) conspire with others to have me killed so they can get the domain minorlifestyleimprovements.blogspot.com and use it for other purposes. I'm hoping few people decide on option 3, but I would be remiss had I not mentioned it.

My first Minor Lifestyle Improvement Goal (M-LIG) is to get out of bed in the morning as soon as my alarm goes off - without hitting snooze.

Email me or comment on FF if you're in.

For your next goal, you may consider fixing the typo in the title of this blog.


SLAMMED!

You've gotten awfully lippy since you got a big brother to protect you.

There also appears to be a typo in the sentence "I'm pretty bad a running my life."

This is the first sentence in the blog.

my MLI is to quit reading blogs. V, just text me the content.

Pugel? Is this for real? They assured me you died in that plane crash.

Your next MLI: stop being such a sucker for whatever the FAA tells you. How do I become a contributor?

I need your email address so I can send you a blogger invite.
