New Years Resolutions Progress Report

Here they are again (crudely copied and pasted from Lunar and Solar Calendar New Years respectively then numbered and responded to...):
1. Cut my sleeping hours (9+ each day is ridiculous) and push my wake-up time back to emulate working conditions, which likely means waking up at 6am.
Still working on it. Daylight Savings coupled with a trip to SD kinda threw my clock off. Currently doing 10~12 right now... =/

2. Study goals: Week-long foreign language, weekday GRE and self-improvement
Got a pretty strong course of Japanese going. The pace is a bit unstable, but it hasn't given out yet. Cantonese is stalled. GRE is also stalled


3. Physical: Follow a 6x/wk workout regimen, Weeklong taiko/fue regimen
Stalled


4. Raise my weight by 10lbs and keep it there
Weight is up from the 18 ish days that I was sick but without #3, I'm afraid most of it is coming back in the form of fat... I'm getting fat... never thought I'd say it huh...? While I have yet to accomplish this goal... its a step in right but wrong direction if you get what I mean.

5. Re-instate 3 meal days.
I'm back to eating when I'm hungry instead of working through the hunger. The 3 meal division becomes blurry the later I wake up in the day.

6. Start using my daily planner more.
Read David Allen and have a pretty good setup going. It could still use improving but it's functional atm.

7. Exercise more
Refer 3

8. Meditate more
Stalled... waiting for a new Zafu... possibly when I relocate or when I manage to push my wake up time prior to the parents waking up (6am)

9. Eat better
Refer whatever number that was

10. Play more Taiko
Refer whatever number that was too

11. Get a job
Done

12. Get a girlfriend
Avoiding this issue atm. My excuse is 'lack of funds'... but that's prolly not completely true.

13. Study more
Refer... you get the drill

14. Write more
What do you think I'm doing now? Granted, the act of writing has been split into two categories... the actual act of recording thoughts in what are hopefully coherent sentences or phrases... and writing stuff out by hand in an attempt to retrain my writing muscles and improve my handwriting. The latter is stalled at the moment and I have no real intention of starting a journal. It'll have to wait until I start writing into a notebook... for whatever reason.

For 2 months... its not bad I guess. Could be better but meh... I'm just happy about #11. #2 makes me excited.

Something cool Mark showed me:

Group 1: 16/20 (80%)
Group 2: 67/104 (64%)

Set up some new kanji for reading to start in on SRS... mostly covering stuff i already know.
