Depends on that thing, I'd say. If it's a habit you're trying to adopt, then it's better to try. One can't adopt it overnight and trying helps. If it's something that should be done in a single go, then yeah, it's a waste.
And it depends upon the person's priorities. What if they don't want to achieve that something else?

Mystic Orange (Rumell) (rkrespectedmember) | 2543 comments It just affects me when I don't track a book straight. If I read less things will be perfectly organised. It will be all smooth and sound. I will make a new log book for next year. I think I will use Microsoft Word for the logging.

Aqsa, true, but if the person does not believe they can do it, it's still a futile effort if you give up - especially since if you start working towards building a better habit and give up, there is a possibility the repercussions are even worse than when you started. What I mean is that if you want to do something, don't do it because you have to - do it because you want to.

Not to discourage anyone here. I'm just stating my opinions, and hopefully carry out a discussion (clearly suck at that), and it's nice to see different perspectives on the same topic :)

Rumell, I fail to see your logic here, so.... Alright.


message 2804: by Aqsa (new)

Aqsa (her_747) | 570 comments Yes, a person at least ought to believe they can do it. If they don't, they would probably not even try. I also meant that the person wants to do that.

We understand, Hallie. We're doing the same. It's good to know what other people think.

I don't get it. You can do that with more books too if you update regularly. Or maybe you don't have that much spare time.

Good luck, Christine!

Another question: Did anyone accomplish the resolution they set for 2018?


message 2809: by Aqsa (new)

Aqsa (her_747) | 570 comments I didn't set one for 2018. But I achieved most things I had in mind as 2018 passed.

Mystic Orange (Rumell) (rkrespectedmember) | 2543 comments I'm stressing out all ready.


message 2816: by Hallie, I'm all about the books (new)

Hallie (inkyhallie) | 5470 comments Mod
Well yes, maybe actually succeed dying.

Same as Rumell. I'm stressing out already, and what I would give for the roof to fall and crush me before the year changes.

message 2828: by Aqsa (new)

Aqsa (her_747) | 570 comments A little early, don't you think? And why are you distressed about it?


message 2829: by Mystic Orange (new)

Mystic Orange (Rumell) (rkrespectedmember) | 2543 comments Everything


message 2830: by Aqsa (new)

Aqsa (her_747) | 570 comments And why?

Mystic Orange (Rumell) (rkrespectedmember) | 2543 comments I hate everything now.

Aqsa (her_747) | 570 comments Yes you told me. Is there a reason?


message 2833: by Mystic Orange (new)

Mystic Orange (Rumell) (rkrespectedmember) | 2543 comments Have you seen the world around you?

There's no use distressing over something you cannot control. Yes, we must help in ways we can, but distressing won't help.

Hi!


message 2837: by Mystic Orange (new)

Mystic Orange (Rumell) (rkrespectedmember) | 2543 comments Well I can't stop distressing just like that. It's a human instinct. And I need to distress.


message 2838: by Tara (new)

Tara (taraax) | 24 comments Rumell, maybe you should talk to a professional? It might help you to start feeling better.


message 2839: by Mystic Orange (new)

Mystic Orange (Rumell) (rkrespectedmember) | 2543 comments I have more important things to worry about than seeing a professional.


message 2840: by Mystic Orange (new)

Mystic Orange (Rumell) (rkrespectedmember) | 2543 comments 2019 is here. There is no point going to a professional for that now in the middle of the night.


message 2841: by Tara (new)

Tara (taraax) | 24 comments I would say your physical and mental health should always come first. I don't mean stop what your doing right now and go do it but something to consider sometime in the New Year ( It's not 2019 here yet).

Hope everyone is having or had a good New years eve!
