this wasn't so much a resolution. but about a month ago i decided to make some big changes in my life.
two new rules:
1. no more call screening.
i had a really bad habit that every time my phone rang, i would see who is calling and most of the time not answer. like i was scared of the phone. no more. if you call thomas you get thomas. if you call me and i am able to answer the phone, i will.
2. no more roll calls.
roll calls happen when a friend will call you to come hang out somewhere and you ask who is there. now i wasn't as guilty with this one, but have caught myself doing it. now though if someone calls to invites me somewhere that's good enough for me. the only exception to this would be i would ask if i had already decided that i am hanging out and want to get more hyped on the friendship.
when i told people about the new rules i was a little surprised at their reactions. people were impressed. call screening and roll calling are universally bigger problems than i had realized. i now hope this turns into a full blown movement. these rules have touched people and changed lives...i have seen it.
