Hey look! My first guest post on Lifehacker:

How to choose achievable goals

If you comment on the post and help the discussion, it's more likely that I'll be asked back in the future.

Thanks! Yeah, their commenting system is a bit difficult to figure out. I forgot my comment login info too, and can't seem to reset my password. Luckily you don't need an account to actually post entries onto the site. :)

I wrote stuff too! I have no idea if they'll like it enough to let it through their spam guard, but hey... worth a shot, right?

Hello.


I changed my name from Erik Benson to Buster McLeod on the flip of a coin in September of 2006. When I got married on Oct 4th, 2008, I changed it again to Buster McLeod Benson. I live in Seattle, WA. I'm co-founder of The Robot Co-op (self-help internet startup) and McLeod Residence (art gallery and bar). I wrote a book called Man Versus Himself. I believe life is art. I believe in doubling down on big living, big loving, big risk, and big change.

I have a manifesto of 12 things you can do to make your life more interesting. They are:

1. You must not dilly-dally.
2. You must be your word.
3. You must have good intentions.
4. You must admit to being the maker of meaning.
5. You must not feel sorry for yourself.
6. You must have a vision that you are striving for.
7. You must tie creativity and experimentation with survival.
8. You must be the change.
9. You must rally others with your vision.
10. You must stake your reputation on your better self.
11. You must be responsible for your own failure and success.
12. You must be comfortable with big failure.
