Operation No Laziness

I have instituted many "operations" in the past and have been unsuccessful, partly due to my own laziness.
According to Wikipedia (the best source of information ever!! j/k) 
"Laziness (also called indolence) is a disinclination to activity or exertion despite having the ability to do so. It is often used as a pejorative; related terms for a person seen to be lazy include couch potato, slacker, and bludger."


So, for Lent, I have decided to give up one of my more annoying qualities, laziness. For 40 days I will strive to be less lazy in order to accomplish some mini goals I have set for myself. My goals are as follows:


1. Start and finish reading Words of Fire: An Anthology of African-American Feminist Thought by Beverly Guy-Sheftall (http://books.google.com/books/about/Words_of_fire.html?id=TFKRZ9uqA6cC) 
2. Lose 10 pounds
3. Finish editing an article I need to get out for publication
4. Don't let my clothes overflow the hamper (trivial, but a needed goal)


My hope is that during these 40 days I will blog every day about what I have done to move toward the accomplishments of my goals or what held me back. Putting this out in the blogosphere will hopefully make me more accountable for my actions. I even put the Blogger app on my cell phone. 


I also want the lack of laziness to carry over after Lent is completed. I have great support at home to motivate me, now I have to find the motivation within myself. 


Operation #nolaziness is in full effect!!
