Sitting out on the patio in the gathering dusk. My mug of chai is empty, and the only illumination now is the screen, and the sandalwood mosquito sticks I’m burning in a possibly-vain attempt to keep the little blood-suckers at bay. It seems they find me tasty.
One of the steps I’ve taken towards my goals this year is to track them using a piece of software on my phone called The Habit Factor. The theory is that one of the elements that makes up achieving a goal is that small habits over time add up to big results, but if you don’t track the small habits, they’ll get away from you. I review the list of habits I’ve set a couple of times a day, and I’ve been doing this for a week. So far, it seems to be working.
