Breaking the chain

I've just come across something that has actually made me think, yes I'll give that a go. The concept is "don't break the chain". It's aim is to get you in the habit of doing something constructive for you and your skills each day.

I read about it here: http://bit.ly/djKD

So I'm a software engineer, working with Ruby based frameworks and a climber. What can I do that's positive and not breaking the chain?

Climb and develop code is the obvious answer. But in the real world I'll be able to achieve one of those goals each night at best.

I'm going to begin with some realistic aims, the aim is to improve skills. I've spent the last hour looking at Sinatra and implmenting Susy, SASS and HAML. I'll write it up in my next post and this is the first chain crossed out.
