Do Things Properly
Yep. That is my New Year’s resolution. Decided about half an hour ago, but that doesn’t matter - I am going to try to so something that I have never done before and do things properly and to the best I can.
I have always got half-way through something and found that I loose my focus or can not be bothered, therefore completing the job half-arsed and not something I am very proud of. Examples could be this layout, whilst I loved designing it, I could a bit half-arsed and cut corners; now I cannot stand looking at it. Another is CSSbake; the first release was alright, but after about a month I never updated and hated the layout - just left to die. In regards to my personal life, I would attend Meditation Groups every Monday and find that my mind is drifting; thinking about Tibia or what new layout I can make, rather than paying attention to the breathing exercises or the meditation.
Well not anymore! I am planning on doing things properly. Tonight at Meditation Group, I paid attention for the whole night with the thinking that if I am there to do it, I might as well do it to the best of my ability; and it paid off!
I am constantly trying to better CSSbake; at the moment I am still tweaking the layout until I am 100% happy with it, and then I will continue to update it. Hopefully CSSbake will grow to be a big resource for people, and I am trying to hit 50 unique visitors a day - which at the moment we are reaching. :)
Finally, I am trying to keep Solipsus as active as possible - I was going to try and blog every day, but thought that was a bit OTT. I think every two days is enough, don’t you? Along with this new outlook on blogging, I am working on a new theme. I was rushing last night to get it done, just so I could say it’s done… but I am putting it off now and not releasing it until I am 100% happy with it. :3
So overall, not necessarily a New Year’s Resolution, but more a new aim for life and not to think I am not good enough to do something, because I am.
