Happy New Year 2007 everyone. It is common to pledge for new habits, activities or certain goals in life, in our new year’s resolutions. But not for me. I won’t start anything new this year. In fact, I will try to scrub out my “bad” habits. Bad here doesn’t mean doing something evil, wrong or mischievous.
New responsibilities I held since the end of last year required me to spend time as productive as possible, even in my spare times. It means leaving old habits that is non-productive, indirect to my job, to my personal income and family-life. And I have lots of those.
I couldn’t stop all at once, doing so will devastate my life balance. After thinking quickly but seriously, I finally got my new year’s resolution. I’ll start with reducing my time for playing PC games for just four hours a week and I’ll play only in the weekends. Previously, I play games almost every day, mostly in the dawn of morning. Somehow I’m addicted to games. Instead of playing games, I rather write in this Blog.
