Here it goes again - Ok Go

Alrighty. Let's go!

So I've kept about 3 different blogs at three different times. One I stopped because I realized that it couldn't be that private with my parents reading. The second is what I'm going to simply call a mass of different blogs that I kept with my friends that all ultimately failed within a few weeks. The third is my livejournal, which I haven't touched since getting my laptop back after being grounded.

I'm not going to do that for this blog though.

See, this blog is gonna be more of a motivation type thing more than anything else. You know how people on diets keep online food logs (which I think is a bit creepy) keeping track of calories eaten, burned, ect? Well think of this sorta like that, except I have no ambition whatsoever to get healthy.

My plan is to simply track some goals, and come up with a reward/punishment system suited to those goals. I think it's gonna be a good way to get me to do some things that I really do mean to do, but never get around to because I'm an internet addict.

So with this in mind, here are my goals as of January 24, 2009 at 7:30 pm

1) Turn in all late homework
  • Reward if turned in by Thursday, January 28th - peace of mind
  • Punishment if turned in later than Monday, February 1st - fear of being grounded
2) Get a 4 on the AP US History exam
  • Reward and punishment to be determined at a later date
3) Practice a total of 5 hours this week
  • Reward: starbucks =)
  • Punishment: No laptop for a day
4) Finish writing episode of Hero at Hogwarts
  • Reward if finished before Monday, February 1st - Brownies!
  • Punishment if incomplete on Sunday, February 7th - Courtney will figure something out lol

I know that it's kinda short, but the thing is that these are things I'm really focused on at the moment. It will get longer as long term things come to mind.

Oh wait, one more thing:

5) ACTUALLY USE BLOG!!!
  • Reward: Accomplishing goals
  • Punishment: Yet again giving up something because you're too lazy
See you soon!
