This turned up on our intranet, and I feel it encompasses my aims for this month (and life in general):
"To be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is a way of life" – Buddha
This month I am extremely busy, NaNoWriMo, pumping out lots of words every day, meanwhile every other day I’m going to be walking to work, and the other days I’ll be going to the gym (when it opens a week from today). Hopefully my mind, body, and spirit will be renewed by the end of the month, and I can throw it all away and celebrate by getting stupidly drunk, eating kebabs, and writing a haiku.
