Recollection

I just reread my previous post and chuckled quietly to myself. How can I expect to succeed at any long-term goal without a system set in place? I just downloaded a productivity / to-do list app, HabitRPG, for my phone a few days ago and so far I'm having fair success using it. I just added "Write a paragraph" to my dailies so maybe - just maybe - you'll see more here soon.

I want to create short, informative, digestible content. I may not be able to swing all three qualifiers in every post, but it's a start. Maybe I'll do how-tos as I often find myself scouring the web for several resources that amount to some semblance of a tutorial. I've been toying around with Linux as I recently received a Raspberry Pi for my birthday so there's plenty of potential for tutorials written from the perspective of a newbie.

I started this post out with the title "recollection" because I remembered that I wanted to make a habit out of writing. I remembered that I had been foolish. "Silly Witt, how foolish you were five months ago!" No. I think to the me that is looking at the past. I still am that foolish boy who thinks he can declare a motive and it just happen effortlessly. I fail. I fail often. I often fail miserably. And without a plan of attack it's going to continue to happen. So, don't just remember. Recollect. Collect again the mistakes and carry forward the knowledge that change won't occur unless you make it.
