Are you enjoying your gaming a bit too much? Been a bit hyper-active over the christmas period?? Just want to be boring for a while? Then follow any of these 12 rules and make your life mudane!

(Also see the blog "The intangible beauty of coloured roofs)

• Today I will try to avoid excitement.
• Today I will try to live slowly and methodically.
• Today I will have a list for the day that will allow me to avoid hurry and indecision.
• Today I will try to enjoy the simple, mundane, ordinary things that life offers.
• Today I will remember what Abe Lincoln said: "Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be."
• Today I will try to adjust myself to what is — will not try to adjust everything to my own desires.
• Today I will take my luck as it come and fit myself to it.
• Today I will try to strengthen my mind. I will not be a mental loafer. I will study — read something that requires effort, thought and concentration — to learn something useful.
• Today I will try to be agreeable, to look as good as I can, dress becomingly, talk low, act courteously.
• Today I will try not to criticize — to not find fault with anything.
• Today I will not try to improve or control anyone except myself.
• Today I will try to live only in today. I will realize that I can do something for twelve hours that would frighten me if I thought I had to keep it up forever.

Especially number 11 and 12. Handy when replying to posts yo!
