#100 Days to Get My Shit Together – Day 100
By Milo | March 10, 2010
100 years might have been a more realistic target. Yes, 100 days ago I pledged to get my shit together. I then wrote a humungous and long-winded week 1 update in which I said I would keep a journal each day to monitor my progress. And then.. silence.
So what happened? Well I didn’t keep up the journal. But I did clear most of the backlog that was stressing me out at the time, I quit writing for the Skinny Magazine which enabled me to blog more regularly and on a greater variety of topics which interest me (though I’ve now realised that I’ll probably never be able to keep to a strict weekly schedule), published my first fanzine, started doing podcasts again, and got a few other things sorted. And today I had a rehearsal for the first gig by my new band, Famous Drunk. Plus painted a skirting board. What more do you bloody want?
Actually I’m still working on sorting myself out. Because most of my problems are self-made. That could take a lot longer than 100 days, but I’m going to keep on working at it. So, I’m grateful to you for putting up with my inconsistency on this site in the meantime. I really appreciate everyone who continues to read/visit.
Catch up on how other folk have done at the 100 Days website (tonight there’s a special gig in London to mark the last day). Oh, and if you did better than me, feel free to link to your good work in the comments!

Don’t worry. Despite being 32, married, a Dad, and having a proper job I still haven’t a clue what I’m doing with my life either. Keep up the good work, I say!

Good to know Stu, cheers!

I’m with Stu mate. I’m 31 in a couple of months, married with a 1 year old and still completely unsure as to what it is I do or really want to do with life. Music ideally.

I have the utmost admiration for parents, I doubt I could cope. Euan, I would say making music is a fine aspiration, though anyone who can do it full-time is very lucky.

Ha! I didn’t even try. I’m 32, single, childless, and a train wreck. Works for me, anyway.
But you did get plenty of stuff done, and people routinely procrastinate over making zines for years. So!

You’re no more a train wreck than anyone else Nine, it’s just a case of different priorities. By the way is everyone who reads this blog in their 30s? Anyway cheers!
