No Mint For Me – A New Year’s Resolution

Posted on 2 January, 2007 at 10:30am with 6 comments

We all know New Year’s resolutions are absolutely useless. I am proud to say that I have never actually succumbed to the drudgery which is the January 1st resolution. That being said, I have decided to voluntarily take on a self-imposed sanction on my web statistics application, Mint. If I compiled all the minutes out of the day I spent looking at Mint, I most likely could have devised a way to end world hunger by now. So I am going to make a point to pay my Mint no attention for one month. Will I succeed? Obviously not – I have no doubt that I will routinely forget about this foolish attempt against the inevitable. Nonetheless, I am going to give it my best go and see what it does for me.

For all you other Mint users, any thoughts on how many hours you spend staring over your stats each month? I would be curious to hear from fellow addicts. Also, if anyone wishes to join in on this, drop a comment and give me a rough estimate of how many hours of your life you think you have saved.
