A note on Day Zero Project on the goal: Don't complain about anything for a week

Barely made it on this one. Great goal to repeat

Day 4! Almost complained. I'm going to expand this to "no defeatist attitudes" because resigning fault of a problem to someone else is pretty much diplomatic complaining.

LIKE ROCKS IN A STREAM. That's some Daoist shit right there
