On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.
When you accomplish something you never meant to do you have the potential to reflect on it in a profound way, but only if you aren’t too busy to miss the opportunity.
Self-reflection may be the most important tool for living a life focused on living in the moment.

To be present.
Constantly.
When you get to know yourself better, you can appreciate your strengths, which you might otherwise be oblivious to. Realizing the right strength (that had been invisible to you) can set you free to live in a way that astonishes you in it’s goodness.
When you get to know yourself better, you can appreciate that your self-imposed limitations do not serve you, or others, very well. This is a blinding flash of the obvious. This also allows you to shed what is holding you back.
Ultimately, you accomplish something you never meant to do.

But the promise was eventually broken.
Something dramatic was needed. And rather than make the worn out “i’ll start my new change on New Year’s Day, i began my resolution on the biggest drinking day of the entire year.
