My 2010 resolutions revolve around routines, so I wanted to do a March 15 update on the routines I’ve successfully implemented, and the ones I have not.

1. Exercise every day in the morning.

This has been off and on, although I’m proud to say that right now it’s on. Robbie and I started P90X, and in order to avoid having to do it when I get home from work (when I’m usually starving and/or grouchy), I’ve been doing it in the morning. It’s a daily routine, so there’s no cheatin’, like “oh I can just do it twice this week.” Nope. Doesn’t work that way. My goal? Stick with it for all 90 days– then re-evaluate. (Of course, as I’m typing this, my arms are stuck in a partially-bent position and I can’t stand up straight… but the soreness wears off eventually, right? Right?)

2. Write for at least one hour every weekday evening, and do promo on the weekends.

I had  good year in general, but most of that was circumstantial– I had awesome luck in 2009. This year, I’m taking some control and hunting down some good luck instead of just letting it come to me.

So this year I’m all about one major resolution: MAKE ROUTINES. Read the rest of this entry »
