In the interest of lessening the instance of regrets, I have decided to focus less on what I want to do, and more on what I want to have done. For example, I do not want to exercise today, but I want to have exercised. I do not want to force myself through another five hundred words, but I want to have written those five hundred additional words.
I believe this will also work in the reverse case. I want to eat a cinnamon roll for lunch, but I don't want to have eaten one for lunch. This may be a useful deterrent, and should help balance things health wise when the exercise thing doesn't pan out.
Being goal-oriented on any scale is good for me, and I am hopeful about this new outlook, especially as it pertains to my writing.
