I had intended to post on what I had done Friday, but ran out of time. But basically I worked on the programming side of things I want to do. I spent Friday, and today too I guess, reading a few articles on TDD and ASP.NET. While I didn’t spend a lot of time even a little is better than nothing and as time goes on the more and more I can put into it the better.

Basically, from my reading I have learned “I have a lot to learn.” It seems as though what I want to do programming wise is always just out of reach, but things will get better for me as time goes on.

This by no means is an extensive list, but is a list of a number of things I want to accomplish. I plan to start on this list and continue with it over the course of the next 30 days. I am also going to blog about some part of it each day.

So… I have a lot of ideas, plans, and thoughts about being a better person and/or doing better in life. At kind of becoming a person that really understands a knows a lot and can do a lot. However, I have had one fatal problem.

I don’t do anything but think about it.

Over the next 30 days I want to start doing something about it. There are many things I want to learn and do and I honestly have the time to do them, I just don’t. So for the next 30 days I am going to start changing myself. I am going to get organized and gain self discipline and I plan to make a post everyday about what I did during the day and how I can do better in the future.

I am going to make sure I follow through on this for a change.
