       iA brand new year, like a brand new day, brings opportunity for
       ichange. There's plenty I'd like to change.
       i
       iI want something different this time. I want time to belong to me
       irather than be its slave.
       i
       iThe computer in my office is the first culprit. I settle in at my
       idesk in the evening and find infinite ways to occupy myself. At
       ithe end of the night I go to bed dissatisfied with my choices. Why
       ididn't I spend that time practicing my music, or using my spinning
       iwheel?
       i
       iShould I avoid computers in the evening? That sounds like
       ia blanket resolution that is easy to recite and impossible to
       ifulfill. Beside which, the computer isn't the problem. It is
       ia symptom of a problem I have. 
       i
       iMy resolution for 2018 is to use the time I have available doing
       ithe things that interest me and to avoid the traps of laziness.
