A Thon

Day 40
It’s not necessary to do something every day in order to keep a daily commitment.
I’ve learned that some commitments can be kept by employing a thon.
For example, when one feels inspired to write, one could do a blog-a-thon, or as I used to do back in my newspapering days, a column-a-thon. Then you’ll have material to turn in every day, without having to write every day.
You can cook all afternoon and eat the results for days afterward.
Someone I know has a weekly mileage goal – he doesn’t have to run every day to hit his target.
What could I free up as a result of a thon or two?

Good idea. But seems like I'm always thonning and always behind.

In practicing some of Leo Babauta's Power of Less ideas and those related he blogs about at http://zenhabits.net, I'm finding your idea of a thon directly applicable.

I will be employing this idea and referring to these bursts of activity as Jon-A-Thons.
