Developing a habit that I don't want!!

I am sure we all want some good skills to inculcate like thinking clearly. Being flawless in our writing. Even I would want those two. After reading and thinking through for sometime now, I have realised there is only one way to develop those two skills for someone like myself. 

Write everyday!!! A better idea would be to aim to write about 500 words. No excuse, maybe give yourself a break on Sunday but that's about it. It also requires building some sense of routine for few years at least so that it becomes second nature. 

While its easy to talk about, there would inevitably be some challenges as well. The perception of challenge will change from person to person. I think, there would be two challenges that I will have to grapple with: the effort of typing everyday and pushing it to 500 words and the second would be of ideas. 

My solution would be that I will write before leaving for office early in the morning either after I wake up or just before I go to sleep in  the night. Although sometimes I may not write 500 words, but I guess that is ok to start with, as long as I do put up the effort to write something everyday. For the second challenge there are two or three possible solutions. First I also write my opinion of what ever has been there in the media. The second solution would be to write what happened the previous day or that day, this will depend upon the activity level or third write on some topic based on suggestion of my friends, and other acquaintances. In fact if you are reading this and dont know me yet, then even you can ask me to write on some particular subject or facet of life. Feel free to leave your comment.

Well now that I have stated the aim and the challenge in it as well, let's see how far this goes. Today being the first day, I plan to use this as my first piece as part of the plan.
