New Year’s Resolutions Heading Into Q4
With about 80 days left in 2026, Don Kowalewski grades his New Year’s resolutions heading into Q4 — the wins, the zeroes, and the new habits he’s adding. From rehabbing his knee daily and going ‘Sugar Free Don’ to journaling, reading, power weekends, and the 100-Day Rosary Challenge, it’s a brutally honest scorecard of a year in progress, plus new Q4 additions from restarting Homework for Life to chasing 155 pounds.
New Year’s Resolutions after 2/3rds of 2026
We are two-thirds of the way through 2026, so it’s time for a reality check on my resolutions. Am I crushing them? Not quite. But I put everything into a spreadsheet, which is equal parts procrastination and facing my failures head-on. From hitting 100% on work focus and bedtime reading to total misses on daily writing, here is my mid-year progress report.
Goals for 2023, 1-Month Update
I started the year copying Matthew Dicks’ and his ongoing tracking daily, monthly, yearly, and lifelong goals. He’s got 49 things on his list. I have 11 things. Well, now I have 12. This is a fun experiment. First, it lays bear all my… Continue Reading “Goals for 2023, 1-Month Update”
Goals for 2023 and Forever
I’m committing plagiary. Intellectual property theft. But not really. Matthew Dicks actually encourages his fans (and I am one) to do what he does. Here’s what he does. At the beginning of the year he establishes a set of goals (ie New Year Resolutions)… Continue Reading “Goals for 2023 and Forever”
Self-Improvement Stuff, Part 4: #RESOLUTIONADAY 2021, Day-2
Oh, boy! The #ResolutionADay® army is really picking up steam. There’s me …Robin M. … and Chris W. Think about that. I want this to become an online trend, the basis of my “coaching” side-hustle, and eventually a book. If I get 3 new people… Continue Reading “Self-Improvement Stuff, Part 4: #RESOLUTIONADAY 2021, Day-2”
Self-Improvement Stuff, Part 3: #RESOLUTIONADAY
As I wrote previously, it doesn’t matter when you start something, as long as you start …now. So, it’s with much excitement I’m re-launching #ResolutionADay …my brilliant idea of adding a new resolution every day for a year. Previously, I made it to Day47.… Continue Reading “Self-Improvement Stuff, Part 3: #RESOLUTIONADAY”
Self-Improvement Stuff, Part 2: #FreshStartFebruary #FixUpFebruary #ForgivenessFebruary
We’ve arrived on the eve of February and many of us crashed and burned on our New Years Resolutions. Studies say 80% of people abandon their resolutions before the end of January. So, that’s it, right? Wait until next year to improve, right? It’s… Continue Reading “Self-Improvement Stuff, Part 2: #FreshStartFebruary #FixUpFebruary #ForgivenessFebruary”
Project 47, Part 1: Push-Ups, Sit-Ups, Burpees
For my 47th birthday, I’m starting a “thing.” Regular readers know I’m big on people having “things.” Some people do their “thing” accidentally, but some others invent them. Some of my things include making coffee with Aeropress, my lawn, and Twitter. Sorry (not sorry).… Continue Reading “Project 47, Part 1: Push-Ups, Sit-Ups, Burpees”

#MidYearResolutions I love this time of year. It’s mid-year. Half-way through 2020 and if you haven’t noticed, 2020 hasn’t exactly been perfect. Readers know I love New Year’s Resolutions. I love making big, bold proclamations of amazing things I’m about to do, and then… Continue Reading “Writing Stuff, Part 1: Monday Blogs”
I’m 100 (it’s how the kids say 100%)
Below is a Ted Talk that punched me in the gut. No. Hit me in the head. No. Woke me up (can I say “I’m woke?”). Benjamin Hardy says alotta stuff, but what I hear is stop doing 30-day fasts, or Whole30, or cleanses,… Continue Reading “I’m 100 (it’s how the kids say 100%)”
