Replace excuses with actions

Every so often, I think it is important to adopt an external view point and look at yourself from a third party perspective. This may contribute to the development of schizophrenia, but more importantly it will help you to gain a bit of direction in your life.

If a third party were to look at me in the laser lab, he would say that I need to enhance my productivity in the mornings. I spoke to a couple of friends about this. They recomended that I draw up a plan in the evening for the next day. This way when I arrive at lab in morning, all I have to do is execute. Easy. You can see the plans in the "Research" section. Day three and counting - so far so good.

Recently I've gained my first kickboxing belt. I spent Sunday rowing with the Star Boat Club in Bedford. It was a great experience and I'll post some photos shortly.

NERD ALERT: have learned the Dvorak keyboard layout and am using it to type this blog. I've gotta admit that I'm a convert, but I don't think it will ever go mainstream.
