It’s that time of the year for me to regroup, refocus, resimplify, and recreate some plans and goals for the coming months and year. I try to take some time to myself and think, often. But lately, as in throughout my Ironman training, I’ve been in one (mostly 3rd) gear. Work, Train, Eat, Sleep - that’s pretty much all I had time for the last 6 months, and if I did have extra time I used it to sleep more.

Now I have a little more time to think. Which usually leads to planning the future months, rethinking my current strategies/plans (work/projects), and trying to simplify things and reprioritize. I’ve discussed this in past posts, but I tend to take on too many tasks over time until I’m over taxed and stressed. I often need to take a time out and try to simplify things again. I thought I’d start this undertaking of the process with a new simplified template for my blog.

At least it will serve as a reminder to myself to keep things simple (simplify), work on limited number of projects (create - as this is what drives me), and keep pushing the limits of my endurance (endure).

The theme (Hemingway) is a little buggy on this trifuel.net multiblog platform system, so I can’t release it to the group. But if I have time, here I go talking about another project , I’ll look into the code to see if I can clean it up enough to let others use it if they like.
