1. foot health
First actions: make appointment with Dr. Kempeny, make appointment with that acupuncturist. Figure out where the time for all this is going to come from. It can't come from work.
2. cardio health
First actions: check out prices and times at the Y and at the local high school that has a pool. Already did the huge first step, the haircut.
3. better use of time
This means LESS TIME ON LJ. Seriously. WAY less. Need a plan for this. Block my access during certain chunks of time (a Greasemonkey script will do that)? Make a small read-every-day filter and a larger catch-up-on-people filter and then the extra for communities and feeds? Something. Advice welcome.
4. decluttering
First step: cancel several magazine subscriptions.
5. better diet
I ate broccoli yesterday. This shows how committed I am. Broccoli is poisonous. Broccoli is the spawn of the devil. Broccoli tastes like somebody didn't clean the kitchen drain strainer for two weeks and then served the results up on a plate.
6. writing
N words per day, no excuses? Or a goal of the form "write and submit this many short stories and edit that 2003 novel for submission"? Deciding soon would be good.
7. stretching
If I don't do my spine twists the pulling in my ribs wakes me up. No clue what that is, but I know stretching gets rid of it, so I'm a fool not to stretch.
8. finances
Time to look up whether I qualify to invest in a Roth IRA even if my company has a 401(k) plan, time to look over the past year's Quicken data to see where I can trim the excess, see whether my investments are right, etc etc.
9. flying
Finish the WVFC Piper Warrior checkout, get a Citabria checkout, start in on some acro, then move over to Attitude's Extra or Pitts.
OK, this list is too long now. Grump. Better pick which ones I care about most.

Seriously, if I just cut back on feeds I'll be in much better shape.
And I adore that icon.
