I hate when that happens!

I find with these types of resolutions that it's best to resolve for a
weekly or even monthly goal (7 sentences a week; 30 sentences a month).
Because with everything else going on in Real Life it is too hard to keep a
daily commitment.
For instance, last year, I resolved to spend 15 minutes a day on
Langmaker.com. Sometimes a week would go by without me having the chance to
work on it, but because it was a modest commitment (1 hour 45 minutes a
week) I could catch up with the entire commitment on the weekend. I tracked
my performance in a spreadsheet so I could see how I was doing.
Best regards,
Jeffrey
