Frugal in the Fruitlands

A couple of points of note about my life right now:

• I’m on day 8 of my no caffeine challenge and still going strong.
• I’m once again participating in the ZenHabits monthly challenge (see the ZenHabits forums for more information). My challenge this month is to do something everyday to move my career forward.
• One opportunity that I’m exploring is the possibility of doing a community blog for my local newspaper - they still need one for Lunenburg, and I think I know enough about blogging, and the area, to make it successful. It’s an unpaid opportunity, but I believe it would be a smart move toward building my own profile.
• I’ve put together a list of 101 goals in 1,001 days, a la Triplux and many many others. Its purpose is more inspiration than a step-by-step plan - I still intend to make progress in these habits largely via monthly challenges.

And here are some of my better posts from this month, if you haven’t read them already:

• The daily miracle of time
• Five cheap ways to feel rich
• Pants don’t need a mission statement
