Updated targets from a previous post. Japanese - JLPT Level N1 by 2012. Currently studying. - One new Keigo phrase per week, minimum. >More like once every two weeks, maybe. Will step it up. - Finish the Harry Potter books in Japanese by March. About 30% through. >Been sidetracked but got through a chapter of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. - Keep a diary in Japanese every day for 30 days. Will start today. >Most days. I missed about two. Diet - Less than five cups of coffee per day. Achieved. >Actually I've now drastically cut down on my coffee and some days I don't drink any at all. - Two regular-sized snacks maximum per day, preferably replace all with fruit. Trying it now. >Failed but I'm going to get back on this. Psychology - Refrain from anger regarding slow and/or erratic human traffic. >Slowly getting better. Perhaps linked to reduced coffee or just mindfulness. - See more good. Be less judgemental. >Again, slowly coming along. I just imagine, a la Gretchen Rubin in The Happiness Project about how it might feel to be in their shoes. Make excuses for other people and it feels a lot better. Instead of seeing a complete prick, like you may be tempted to, you see a human. Most of the time.
