Promises to Self
….or atleast resolutions that I am going to try and keep!
There have been several things on my list of to-commit-to-soon for a loooong time now! I have either been too lazy, too preoccupied, or just plain procrastinated on trying to accomplish any of these. So am making a concrete running list. Lets see kitna hota hai aur kitna nahi…
- Clean my room before Diwali! (the state is NOT abysmal anymore:))
- Start working out (this has been on the list of ages now….need to need to absolutely need to get on with this one)
- Create back-up of everything on my laptop..finished half of the backing up! (I have been thinking about this but have not gotten around to it. Am scared of losing all the content. Work/college documents, pictures, and my beloved songs!)
- Work on improving my posture (have noticed a slight humped posture in pictures and in my mother’s reprimanding words…am going to work on keeping my muscles intact!)
- Work on ergonomics and my instrumentation techniques so that I do not get carpel tunnel or atleast prolong it! (along the same lines..habituate my muscles)
- Save money…(pucha naa yaar kya hua ;))
- Study and prepare for the Dentl Admission ka Test for four more years of teeth-study! SIGH!
- Study and prepare of my board exams for licensure
- Have breakfast each morning (trying to start healthy eating habits now..)
- Reply to emails - official and personal (I know i know..I really need to work on this)
- Actually accomplish everything on this list or atleast try to 
ok me first
why does ‘promise-list’ or ‘to-do’ list for almost every college student look so similar ?
and yeah, u better create a back-up of everything on ur laptop soon ? u did get the blue screen of death last year, didn’t u ?
Apun Dwitye (like AB says in new KBC 2)…:-)
Wow…I agree with Mehul…its the same list everywhere…..I need to do half those things too…the problem is I just think about them and plan to do them…
…But to start with..
1. I am replying to emails starting right now. (I just never do for some reason..)
2. Room cleaning.
Hopefully one day I will work out regularly and eat…*sigh*..and back up *even a bigger sigh*
Tell me how much of that you achieve in the coming weeks…
Wow! Seems a lot of promises to keep. Hmmm. I have tried them a lot, sigh.. many times….they hold on for a few days…sigh..but after that dust starts collecting on them.. and eventually they get forgotten…
I hope you have better determination then mine & that you will be able to keep your promises… best of luck…
Reading my above experiences in this regard, I know I am not in a position to give you any advises but yeah.. something came into my mind & I can’t get over it unless I say it…so here I go..
Suggession is.. try some lame childish tricks with these promises… that means whenever you are able to keep 1 promise.. pamper yourself with a reward..with something u like…maybe a choco..hehehe… & punish yourself if you break one….
Speaking to others… writing on blogs about it .. might also keep you motivated towards the promises….
…….remembering a dialog….”pran jaey per vachan na jaey”….:-)
i c.. i hav been seeing this ” working out… ” since the birth of this blog.. but nothing seems to be materialized yet!? & i remember mentiononing abt ur RUSTED poor “aerobics KIT” !!(cycle i rem) some time back.. pch .. let’z c if it has got some good days.. hehe
kaushie.. do take care of ergonomics first. i tell ya it hurts badly if not.. k ..tc
Ur start work out and save money are two things i have trying to start for many moons now..
The pic that you post in ur previous post.. it was one the few things that really shocked me like the other millions…
Who ever said God was not partial?
Or does God exists after all?
All the best, agle saal phir padenge isse, aise hi, like the repeat afternoon telecasts on various channels *yawn*
Hehe … now now, stop staring at this screen, and START THE BACKUP ASAP! I m not gonna send u out songs again !
*same pinch*…well i dont plan to take anything dental test!:-P
well wat else but a long sigh!
bye,
Divs
Yup… almost exactly the same things I need to do at the moment..
clean my room, before they award me with the messiest room in iit!!
and second thing i really need to do,save money.. i still haven’t got used to the fact, that i’m no longer working
BEST OF LUCK… !!! :))
hey good luck with the list! i need to clean my room too… ehhh sigh!
u knw kaush…writing things down like this really helps…even if u arent able to do all of them, u end up doing atleast some of them!
so may u be done with all these tasks!
u knw kaush…writing things down like this really helps…even if u cant do all that u wrote down, u end up doing atleast some!
so may u be able to do all that u mention!
i ll be more interested in “how many of these do u successfully implement” and more importantly in “which calendar year”..
hehe…it seems like u r making new yr resolutions already..good luck.
and do try to lose that “invisible” fat..
i did not see “Attend Neeraj and Poonam’s engagement on the list“…may i ask why??
Don’t even talk about my room. Damn where did my cell go?
You have said “working out” twice, in last one week. I wish you were this regular on your excercise bike…LOL
How many times have I told you to have your breakfast? It’s the most important meal of the day. GRRRRRRRRR!!
Reply to my email too. GRRRRRRRRRR!! Oh Wait!! I never wrote one…:P
Are you a Gemini by Sunsign or does your moon sign have mercury as its master …. After reading ur post Iam 95% sure that one of the above things is true …… If it is true then I must say your list needs an Herculean effort from you ……
making promises to self is easy……… keeping them, is another story altogether!
wow..that IS a scary list. How did you even manage to compile it..leave alone decide to work on it? I fully sympathise with you. May God give you the strength!
lol! and I thought I had a huge backlog of things to do. The next big one on the block: Kaush’s list after Schindler’s List! What a contrast - one is a supreme edifice of selflessness, the other has all that you need to know on selfishness :P! (JK OK!)
sigh!! me too tying to gewt into shape…..
I have several lists such as this one scattered everywhere…must make a list of lists-of-things-to-do now. I make one daily and then proceed to ignore it and do everything else! oh well!
-RS
oh poor u!! i so totally sympathise with u! or maybe..empathise wud be a better word…cos i’m goin thru the same stuff myself!! making lists is something i’ve been doin ever since i learnt to write…and by now, after many failed attempts at accomplishing everything on the list, and many futile resolutions…i’ve become an expert at making ‘workable’ to- do lists. and how do i do that? leave out all the unrealistic goals from the list!! but havin said that…i’m still struggling to get started on the workin out promise to self. aah, who knows? maybe its a chick thing!! :-))
hi Mehul..yep I think this list is almost universal to all college kids! sachi..!waise yes I have been creating back ups and have created almost 3/4ths..there is a little remaining but the CD drive hasfaileD! So am working on getting a new portable harddrive for more back up..dekhte hai sigh.
Theek hai Rickyji..aap dwitiye…
Hey Someone somewhere..aisa hi hota hai..i think about them when I am driving and will be like okay chalo will go home and do this..but that never happens! SIGH..and i know exactly what you mean on the not replying to emails part..good luck with that list!
hi Navjot, sahi hai..i should follow the pran jaaye par vachan na jaaye….actually the childish tricks are very useful! they work…but then I realize oh what the heck and give up..but this time am trying hard! thanks!
hi Chandu..hhaha true that! the working out had been on here for along time now..and to make things worse winter has set in so the motivation is at an all time low..sigh! but will try to work on that..and ergonomics..phew that scares me..especially since i am in it long term…
Hi tony! yup those two things have been on my list for a pretty long time now too..and about tha tpicture in the previous post;..good questions those! but I guess everything in this world is balanced..but fair? I am not so sure..
WHATEVER DEEPAK….LOL but what you said will hopefully not be true this time..waise I hav e created half the back up but now my CD drive is broken! See there is some power up there that doesnt want me to get that back up……! sigh.
LOL DIVs..same pinch indeed !
Manpreet..I have managed to clean my room
and savemoney..when you save enough..send some this way too 
thanks Itakenologic….
thanks gnextdoor..clean room is on everyones list now …;)
thanks VIdhi..i think the same th ing..that is why i wrote these out…lets see how far i get with this..
haha Vicky..which calendar year is a good question..waise never a bad tiem to make new year resolutions…anyways the gujju new year is coming up..so lets see
make em the lunar new year resolutions ;);)
Am I too late to giove my ‘daadi-amma’ waali advice?!
I know I know…. you’ll be fine gurl. Just take ‘em one by one.
HEY! IS your room clean yet?!
hi Poonam..baat yeh hai ki list toh un cheezo ki hai jo main bhool jaati hoon..engagement kahan bhuli hoon main..am working on it ..mumma has half not agreed yet aur tickets bhi dhoond rahi hoon..its all full! lekin I am trying…:):)
Did you clean your room yet Ricky? and yes yes I know..i keep talking about working out but it never comes to fruition..now i seriously hope I am able to start working out soon! aur haan breaakfast! i am wokring on that tooo…with time..:)
kya PV! psychic or what? hahaha..yes yes My sun is Gemini and the master of my moon sign is mercury..so BOTH the things are right..I am a “mithun” by moon sign too..so “the twins” are stuck with me..by sun or by moon…both! hahha…i guess the traits show dont they? Well, getting the list finished does need a Herculean effort..but I think I can make atleast 3/4ths of it happen
and I shall be happy..then will put hte list back up with the same things next year ;);)
very true ANKS..keeping them is the true test….
Thanks Colors..I do need the strength..how have you been..both of us seem to have lost hte way to each others blogs..my apologies for that..have been very very busy lately..but that is no excuse ..shall be there soon
and compiling this list wazs the easy part..now comes the real task 
LOL encrypted! what analogy???!!! anyways..the Kaush list is supreme
Hem! How are you??? trying to get in shape too? join the club..sabka ek hi haal
RS-–you sound like mmy long lost sister on that ….I am trying hard i tell ya..i am trying hard on this one!
Chips…hah maybe its a chick thing..but I think no matter how realisitc the goals are..this “work out” goal seems to be ALWAYS out of reach…hehe
Naaah Nupur ammaa
you are never too late to give any dadi amma advice…will I listen to the advice? thats a good question..hehe and by the way..YES i have cleaned my room :):)
O.K. list of must to do. Hope you will be able to finish 50 of this. All the best :). Hey you reminded me doing back up my files too :D. Thanks.
Wish you a Very Happy and Prosperous Deewali
