I also added some static pages which might help you determine your first “tweak:” the method, rules (don’t let the term fool you), and benefits sections.

What are my goals?

I may not go into too much detail, but I have a pretty concrete idea where I want to go.

It’s pretty scary saying I want to make changes in so many areas, but it won’t happen overnight.

I am willing to accept that small changes, small victories, will add up to bigger ones.

My goals fall under these categories:

• diet
• fitness
• health
• organization
• productivity
• skills
• spiritual

(Note: I know how much weight I want to lose, and just how disorganized my desk is, but I am not going to go into too much detail at this time.)

What goal am I working on this week?

My first tweak falls under (for want of a better word) “diet.” I am not using the word in the narrow sense of restricting calories, nor in the shortsighted sense of “eating a certain way for a period of time and then giving it up.” I mean it more holistically.

My diet is not terrible. I eat lots of vegetables, fruits, and a good amount of wholefoods like legumes. It could be better.

I don’t eat fried foods every day, but I admit a weekness for french fries. If the sandwich comes with fries, I am all over them. I’ve been known to order fries and a salad. Not the worst thing in the world, but I could do with a bit less of them.

My first tweak is not to have any this week. I’m starting at midnight, New Year’s Day.

I know, it is not a very big tweak, but it makes sense to me. It’s a five-day week from 1/1 to the Sunday when my next tweak begins.

We’ll see if I decide then to keep this one up too.

No pressure. That’s the idea.
What are your goals?

What’s your first tweak?

Say as much or as little as you like, but let me know you’re out there, tweaking.

Remember, one small change, one week five days.

We can do this, eh?

Next week, we’ll re-assess and see where to go next.

Onwards!
