I have done a good job at reading worthy news articles and writing about them.
I can improve by segmenting others things I want to read and then writing them up. So I should read a section on anatomy, math, and biology and then write it up.
Maybe I should make everything based around a blog entry.
Let's try that.

Retrospective 010309
Here is a late night/early morning post about all the things I wish I never did.
Looking back, I wasted a lot of time.
1. Watching TV. As a kid until now, it has always been the same shows. It is not new TV, or even infomercials but the same shows and even the same episodes. I could cut down just by watching TV, just cut out the stuff I have already seen. I even rent things I have seen. Let's just say, it is all a waste.
2. Exercising. Yeah, I made some time for something most people are trying to start. But unless I enjoy it, why should I do it. I should find ways to enjoy what I am doing, that is why I started biking.
3. Time on the internet. Really, I have wasted my time reading great things, but some can be a waste. I need to limit my time here, because I do really enrich myself.
4. Studying. Really, it is studying inefficiently. Bad studying leads nowhere. It has to be planned, habitual studying over time to create real gains. Just like practicing, it has push limits and be done over time.
5. Multi-tasking. Or doing more than is really good for me or what I think is right. Simplify will always be universal. Keep going on the things you are doing and keep an eye out for the next thing but don't overreach until you are ready.
6. I spend a lot of money. On stuff I don't need.
Now that I am (once-again) looking to change these bad habits, I would recognize and change a few things. I would get plenty of sleep and arrange my time around that. I would plan for a large amount and plan around. I would not make eating a very long process and would make it secondary, but still healthy. I would still waste time, but would do it in the most constructive way, reading on the internet, a healthy habit that just needs to be curbed a bit. I would reduce all other distractions and study. Of course I can say that I should do better, but how? I still don't know. But I would eliminate procrastination. I would focus more on making everything into a problem and finding many different ways to think about the same thing; powerpoint, flashcards, expository writing, and outlines. This should all be done as soon as possible and for a fixed amount of time. I think I should move on on subjects that I don't feel ready to do so. I think I should set limits and move on after they have elapsed.
So for now on, rather than starting to read something, i will set goals. I will plan out a reading schedule to complete certain tasks instead of comprehension as the goal. Let's work on the things you want to get right rather than trying to get the first perfect before moving on.
