slipshod odd blog http://dumbluck.posterous.com where my random thoughts come to kick back and shoot the poop posterous.com Mon, 23 Aug 2010 13:10:00 -0700 Self-Improvement a la Demetri Martin http://dumbluck.posterous.com/self-improvement-a-la-demetri-martin http://dumbluck.posterous.com/self-improvement-a-la-demetri-martin

After watching Demetri Martin's stage show "If I", I decided I could use a more structured method for evaluating my daily routine in a way to aid in my self-improvement. I decided to adopt a similar system with a few modifications. Thus, the Self-Improvement 35-Point System was reborn. In this system I have seven categories with five tasks in each. Some tasks are simple little things like making the bed, others are a little more out there like cooking a certain amount of meals, and some are kind of oddball like one a took straight from Demetri - demonstrate moral courage. Some tasks need to be completed every day and others just once or twice. I even added a bonus with more difficult tasks.

Thingiez

Every Sunday night, you tally up your score, jaught down some numbers, then start a new sheet. Revisions of the system might be needed if some tasks are too easy and the bonus should change. Well, let's see how long this phase starts. I'm also considering keeping this secret from everyone I know for as long as I can. I'm thinking 100 weeks of keeping them in the dark. Because it's kind of pretentious, right?

Well, that counts as a blog post for me. Three more to go.
