I feel this is an important point to make. It's too easy to just sit down after a day at work or at college, or even if you're sick and have to stay at home all day.

With sit down, I mean: watching TV. Chatting with online friends, playing video games, watching movies, reading books, browsing the web for funny pictures or interesting news...

All these things are great, and often necessary for us to calm down and give us some enjoyment. BUT, they also don't do anything for our lives to improve.. You don't really live if all you do is to consume.

Often, even very small things are enough to make your life improve. Here's a few examples:

  • Clean your place. Easier to invite someone home.
  • Call up a relative or friend, and try planning a small something for the next weekend.
  • Buy a ticket for a concert, buy a plane ticket to get away and visit some place.
  • Familiarize yourself with something you are curious about. Kinda want a pet, but never get yourself going about it? Go visit a pet store, and talk to the staff. You're not binding yourself up to anything, but you'll make things easier for yourself. Same goes for anything really. Swimming pool, gym, sports hall...
  • Work to improve some skill. These takes time, but are very rewarding. Juggling, tinkering, carpentry, guitar, programming, cooking, drawing, writing, academic stuff, math, singing... You pick. There are lots of options...
  • Improve your physical condition. Stretch, do some pushups, go jog, etc..

I'll start. Today, I'll get to bed early. Is good to be rested for work... Is kinda a short term thing, but yeah.

Now to the main point: What did you do today, to make tomorrow better?
 
I went to church today, played guitar & sang worship with my friend she's such an amazing singer, she helped me to get over alot of my anti social behavious, we go out and sing at christian & non christian venues,wouldnt have had the courage b4 i met her but now im no longer shy & i cant get enough, its so much fun and a great way to socialise, I encourage others here at ALL give something uve always wanted to do or talkd about often but never done cos fear holds u back a real go, you might find out like I did that ur actualy stronger than u ever imagined
 
Today I'll pay my bills way ahead.

Usually, I postpone it to the last day. Not because I don't have the money... Just plain laziness.

Will also not use as much time in front of the computer as the previous days.
 
This really caught my eye. I guess I never looked at life this way - each day is either endured or enjoyed. Thanks for food for thought.
 
I set up a computer and printer/scanner for my Grandparents. They're currently in ill health and not as mobile as they once were, so this is a good way for them to stay in touch with everyone.

I also sent a letter to my soon-to-be ex-wife apologising for taking her for granted and saying goodbye so that I can move on.
 
Bought some tickets for the mountain bike I'm going to win on July 1st.
 
We had eyecontact and i smiled and she smiled. strange. i didn´t do that for nearly 10 years. yesterday at a bar it was similar. maybe i m gettinghungryagain?
10 years more and i might be able to talk with them... ;) ... maybe it´s just springtime.
 
Just about to start work so that I can spend more on The Kid tomorrow- damned growth spurts!
 
Last night I slept very poorly..

I'm gonna clean my bedroom today. Maybe I'll sleep better the next few days if I'm not breathing in all this dust. (I wake with a dry throat in the middle of the night)
 
I went for a long walk and bumped into my niece. I stood and had a long talk with her, gave her some advice and gave her a few pounds (Money. I'm English). I don't know how that helps my tomorrow, but hopefully I am helping her to become a better adjusted adult than I am.
 
I didn't go ahead with it and pulled my honeysuckle together. I guess that makes a better tomorrow.
