Resolution | |
January 01st, 2018 | |
---------------------------------------- | |
A brand new year, like a brand new day, brings opportunity for | |
change. There's plenty I'd like to change. | |
I want something different this time. I want time to belong to me | |
rather than be its slave. | |
The computer in my office is the first culprit. I settle in at my | |
desk in the evening and find infinite ways to occupy myself. At | |
the end of the night I go to bed dissatisfied with my choices. Why | |
didn't I spend that time practicing my music, or using my spinning | |
wheel? | |
Should I avoid computers in the evening? That sounds like | |
a blanket resolution that is easy to recite and impossible to | |
fulfill. Beside which, the computer isn't the problem. It is | |
a symptom of a problem I have. | |
My resolution for 2018 is to use the time I have available doing | |
the things that interest me and to avoid the traps of laziness. | |
