One Hundred Days To Make Me A Better Person

Listeners of the Absolute Radio Dave Gorman podcast may recall a challenge set by comedienne Josie Long called One Hundred Days to Make Me a Better Person (phee-eeew, that was links a plenty).

If you don't know what I am blathering on about then allow me to briefly explain: the idea is to pledge to do one thing every day for 100 days in a bid to improve yourself, starting on 1st December 2009. You should register to the website (linked above), make your pledge and document your updates by any means necessary.

I think this is a meritorious idea and wholeheartedly want to join in with the other boys and girls. However, I appreciate that this is something that you are promising to do every day for a little over 3 months and therefore requires a smattering of thought. Seeking inspiration I perused the pledges made thus far and found not only mild amusement but also some very sweet people:

LiterallyTs

ar will correct misuse of the word "Literally" - it shall only be used correctly worldwide after March 10.

tombedwell will say hello to a complete stranger and record how each person reacts.

oh_pollo will Will write a page a day. Page size may vary.

Neil Deadly will Save a pound and give £100 to charity in March.

Now, I am feeling quite bereft of inspiration but there are two trains of thought I will pursue over the next few days.

The first being the fact that my diet, in terms of nutritional value, has some what taken a nose dive over recent months so I could pledge to actually eat my five day (of fruit and veg obviously) for the next 100 days (and hopefully beyond) but surely that's something I should be doing anyway?

*hangs head in shame*

The second is that I could ensure that I listen to a podcast everyday. Since my late discovery of the wondrous podcast (as discussed in this post) I have enjoyed them less frequently than I would like and seeing as it was a podcast that led me to this discovery maybe that would be most apt.

I have a few days to chew over this so I shall return, hopefully with some more thoughts.
