Accomplishments, 10_101_01 announce!
Feb. 9th, 2021 10:44 pmSo here's some things that I accomplished today:
*I had a reasonably good work day! I caught up with all the daily tasks from Friday, and most of them from Monday. I still haven't done today's daily tasks (of course) but I am careening towards something resembling "caught up".
*I managed -twice- to take a video game break where I did not then play video games for infinity hours. Timers help considerably in this case, and setting them on the desk, and being real fuckin' serious about listening to them. After the first break I did a bunch of work (see the above point), after the second break I kinda dicked around on the internet for a bit but eventually got focused into TherapyTimeTasks. So that felt pretty good --it is rare and nice that I can actually ~exhibit moderation~ and it's probably gonna all go to fuck immediately.
*Aforementioned TherapyTimeTasks went quite well -- the goal was to finish up the 101 in 1001 list I've been working on for a bit. (Explanation: you have a list of 101 tasks which you will complete in 1001 days.) I'm not totally sure how public I'm gonna make the list this time around --last time I tried this (in 2007) I made a whole separate livejournal, which I maintained for all of four months.
To be clear, there is very little evidence that I will be focused about this for longer than four months, but the very act of thinking about the future and trying to set goals feels revolutionary, in a brain made entirely of burn-out and pandemics.
Anyways, the majority of the list is totally reasonable to share (and parts of it are probably quite guessable), but there's at least one thing which is Actively Secret Due To Old Agreements, one thing that's _super_ shameful (technically it's so shameful that it's *two* things), and one thing that is...not a secret and probably not a surprise but still something I have never once mentioned to another human being as something I was interested in or wanted to do, and there's vulnerability in that.
Anywho, I've decided that I'm gonna initiate list-start on February 28th, which means it'll end on November 26th 2023. There was a little bit of exploration to find perfect dates, and what I've landed on is "start on my half birthday, end on my sixteenth danciversary" and I am pretty damn okay with that!
*Ate quesedillas, watched Parks and Rec with Ezri, did go on a ten minute walk (although it was to the corner store this evening and not to the pull-up bars so I didn't do any pull-ups.) I've rebooted my paper Dailies checklist with a ~fancy~ spreadsheet version, which is still just an excuse to use pretty colours to mark things that are happening.
...Man, I was vaguely into spreadsheets before the pandemic, but job-plus-pandemic has *really* gotten me into them. Good stuff!
I hope you're well. <3
