"Oh, if only I had more time I'd change my life for the better," many people say. Or in my case, as my friend and I were discussing the other day, if we quit our jobs, we would go the the gym everyday, cook made-from-scratch organic food, have the cleanest houses and beautiful gardens. I'd also write that novel, which would undoubtly become a best-seller and eventually be made into a movie. These are the thoughts that run through my mind many times a day.
of course, there's a slight chance (ok, a big chance), I'd spend any extra time watching daytime television. I don't know why people make these grand goals and then fail to achieve them or even start working towards them. We all do that at the begining of every year. But the subject of this blog isn't to delve into why we fail to achieve our goals, it's about looking forward.
A couple of years ago, I heard about kaizen. It's a Japanese term that calls for small continuous improvements. It's a business term, but I thought, "Why not use it in my everyday life." In fact, until recently, I had a sticky note with the term on my desk (it was removed to improve air quality in the office, but that's a subject of another post).
So, in the name of improving my self little by little (I'm not writing my novel yet), but I decided to start a blog and chronicle little changes I've decided to implement to improve my life. I hope to give readers ideas they can use and hope you all can give me ideas/suggestions as well.
