In Which I Say "Crap" A Lot

A frequent saying at work is that you can't just get rid of crap. How do you know getting rid of crap isn't just bringing in even worse crap to fill the empty space?

Same thing goes for life habits as goes for search results.

Quit wasting all your time, quit reading your 50th favorite blog, quit various mind wasting activities, is this going to make your life better?

Certainnnnnnly you don't want to fill your time back up with reading your 1000th favorite blog. "No reddit" is an insufficient set of rules to live by.

There's two solutions. Solution #1 is that you can just get rid of the most terrible crap, things you are really definitely convinced are probably pretty much the crappiest things around, and there is really no crap any worse so the downside is limited. Not really helpful for life habits.

Solution #2 is to simultaneously undergo some positive life habits initiatives to go along with the crap removal.

So here I am, blogging almost every day. That's the new goal - new only in the sense that now I fairly plausibly believe it is possible since I've been doing it, mostly, for a little while. I try to have the rule of thumb that if I am in the mood for reading a third blog today, I should just post about something random instead. A little startup woes, not really knowing to write about, but recently I don't feel like this is constraining me.
