Humpday Commit

via theoatmeal.com (it's like he's in our heads!!)

It's Wednesday, and the week is half over. What have you accomplished? If you're anything like me, this is the point when you think Crap, I meant to do _________ and now it's basically Friday. Ugh. I guess I'll do it next week. Except, as you probably know, next Wednesday rolls around and the same thing happens.

This is not about procrastinating - I'm not a procrastinator so I have no advice for people who struggle with that. When it comes to getting things done, I'm the queen of lists. I'm a do-er, a get-it-done-er.

The problem I have is that my goals don't actually need to get done, and usually get pushed to the side by the things that do. So I'm creating something called "Humpday Commit" (#humpdaycommit) - every Wednesday, I'm making a small commitment that helps me achieve my bigger goals. (Let's take a moment here to recognize that I'm making a commitment to make commitments. Woah. I might have problems.)

This is about setting yourself up to win at life by making regular, incremental commitments to bring about change for yourself. Not just to complete a task and cross it off the list.

I really hope you will join me in this. I'd love to hear your commitments and share in your success, but I'll also need you to hold me accountable!
