The Year of Addition by Subtraction

Resolutions-schmezalutions
I do not believe in New Year’s resolutions. I haven’t had any for as long as I can remember. This year is no different.
Resolutions usually fail because people think they need something major like a new year in order to make changes in their lives. If you aren’t resolved and committed to the change it doesn’t matter that it’s a new year. You will likely fail. I also believe that incremental changes are often the best way to make changes. You just sort of sneak in the changes over time so that you don’t realize you’re changing and don’t fight the changes.
As far as the Geek Household, we are always adjusting and tweaking things on our gadgets, our computers, our vehicles and even in our lives. We periodically stop and take a look around at the landscape and say, “Hey, Hon, don’t you think this would look better over here?” We view our lives as iterative and we are always working to make our lives better.
