I did not have res­o­lu­tions for 2014. Instead, I decid­ed to plant and grow few habits that are worth pur­su­ing for years.

To help me get going, I made the fol­low­ing three rules for myself:

1. Base goals on Iden­ti­ty. Not on Per­for­mance or Appear­ance.
2. Rely on Habits and Process­es. Not on Willpow­er.
3. Believe in Evo­lu­tion. Not in Rev­o­lu­tion.

To remind me of these rules, I forked some markup from Codecad­e­my at the end of 2013 and added a timer to it: time.chaitanyamsv.com. This page served me well but as I decid­ed to close my domain, this page will go down as well.

One and a half years lat­er, I no longer need the timer as I sys­tem­atized my habits in Coach.me and Wun­derlist apps. So the habits hap­pen nev­er­the­less. How­ev­er these rules need­ed a new home, and this post is it.
