you are what you cache

Indeed, not "what you eat" as the phrase oft tells us.

"You are what you Cache"
(define: cache)

I always think of a cache of treasure stored away in a dungeon somewhere far away. Appropriately enough its pronounced "Cash". Lovely.

Moreso to the point - you are what you repeatedly do.

Recently I began weaning myself off computer games. Not off them totally mind you... just reducing the amount of time spent on them massively. It means time for other things. (Obviously)

Almost 25, its been bugging me lately just HOW MUCH TIME I HAVE SPENT in virtual worlds.... all my life i've been gaming. from the humble Commodore 64, through the NES, to the mighty PC. yes i've had fun, yes i've seen and done things i could not do in reality, but all this time i could have spent more time developing the real world me! So. thats one of the things i'll be doing this year.

theres so much to do, and so little time to do it all. a final observance if i may?

never go on holidays for a long time with loads of stuff left at home to do when you leave. when you get back you still have to do it all, and theres all this new stuff thats managed to accumulate too. systematically is the way to proceed now. i think. Progress continues...
