New Addition to Website: Joe's Goals

<<< Feelin' Sore Weekend in Austin >>>

October 16, 2006:

If you actually visit my website instead of reading the emails that get sent out, you will have noticed that on the right margin is now a box that says "Joe's Goals." This is a software application I'm trying from http://joesgoals.com/. You give it categories and weights, and it keeps track of how well you're living your life. For example, some of the categories I have are "Take LSAT Practice Test" (+3), "Exercise" (+2), "Stay up Late", and "Alcohol" (-2). This graph will show you how I'm doing in this balance, as I try to keep it positive every day. You'll see yesterday I had a total of -7. This is because I ate out twice, had three sodas (caffeine) after noon, stayed up 2 hours past my bedtime, and drank two alcoholic drinks. On the plus side, I went for a 1.5 mile hike with my mom (or else it would of been -9).

I'm hoping to keep it positive. It shouldn't be hard if I can stay away from caffeine, alcohol, eating out, and staying up late.

Right now the application is buggy, but eventually you'll be able to click the graphic and see exactly what categories I'm doing well and not so well in.
