The making or breaking of a habit!

It takes 21 days to make / break a habit!

I established this pearler while researching something completely unrelated of course which speaks volumes for my already acknowledged and increasingly annoying habit of procrastination!

Here is the argument FOR : http://www.stevenaitchison.co.uk/blog/a-new-habit/

Here is the argument AGAINST : http://www.spring.org.uk/2009/09/how-long-to-form-a-habit.php

Please note these are only two of many I actually read - I refer back to procrastination.

Well I've decided to test myself here - so here goes ......

I will write 500 words (and no, this blog does not count) daily for 21 days - excluding weekends when I will write 500 words over 2 days.

If this works - I will have an excellent habit!  Include here "prolific writer" "success" "income generator" person etc.

If it doesn't and I feel the need to take a 2 week break after 21 days of squeezing 500 words out of my exploding head - well, I should still have around 10,500 words to use in some shape or form - which can only be a good thing!

There are only 2 rules : (of course there are rules otherwise it won't feel real)

1. I HAVE to write 500 words a day - and report, as such, each day on this blog, briefly, so that I'm held accountable by anyone reading this;
2. I CANNOT write ' Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet ' as tempting as it may be!

There - I've gone and done it!

Keep me legal people!

Thank you
