From the Top

This isn't an Event Log. This is a declaration of intent. Since I've started Event Logs in the beginning of this year, I have rarely missed a beat and proved to myself that I have the capability to create content daily. I started the endeavor as writing practice. It's now become routine, and like any routine, it's time to add to it.

If Event Logs are an account of what I did for that day, then this would be a statement of what I would like to accomplish before it starts. Writing has always been a form of accountability for me. If I say I'm going to do something on paper, I'm beholden to it. I'm not going to promise a bunch of grandiose and ambitious things on my first statement of intent, but I will have to impose new discipline on myself. Times are getting desperate, and desperation has a way of making men fly.

It's all about effort and time management. Too many minutes and hours leak out of my day. I have to take advantage of those cycles. I can't let them go to waste. It starts with discipline. I have to reign myself and keep my passions from taking over. I've tried a bunch of different strategies, but sometimes, the best way to do things is headfirst.
