- Read last week’s review — check!
- Upload a screenshot of my mood tracker stats
- This week’s score: 119. Score is still going down, but I actually didn’t have the most productive week in the world last week. I’ve been feeling distracted a little.
- This week’s animal: the lowly barnacle. Low energy, low focus, and low enjoyment. It wasn’t necessarily as bad as it sounds, I think it’s just part of my cycle of motivation, and the key is to use the knowledge to attend to being healthy, finding focus, and enjoying the moment. I’ll be back in no time.
- Added “Star day” to the list of things I want to track in the “Do the day right” section. Sometimes going above and beyond the call of the day and doing something amazingly awesome is what needs to be done. I also added “Post an entry to M2B” which is another blog I started and will be linking to in a bit.
- Review my guidelines for enjoyable living:
- Make your own meaning.
- Make your own advice, then take it.
- A strange shift is taking place in the kind of meaning I want to make in my life. I want to build on existing foundations.
- Have good intentions.
- An action from last week that seemed risky at the time has paid off and I do believe that the intentions were good throughout.
- Be your word.
- Do not dilly-dally.
- Do not feel sorry for yourself.
- Take time to make a vision worth striving for.
- Thinking about maybe moving. It definitely has a part in the vision that I am striving for.
- Rally others with your vision.
- Tie creativity and experimentation with survival.
- Be the change you wish to see in the world.
- A few conversations this week focused on the difference between having high expectations for people, expecting the best, and holding their actual behavior against them. On some level, we have to learn to try to be our best while also accepting the reality of who we (and the people around us) actually are right now.
- Stake your reputation on your better self.
- Take responsibility for the consequences of being who you are.
- Manage your stress, health, and clarity of mind.
- Enjoy things.
- Share.
- Yes, very important.
- Study your mistakes.
- Retry things you don’t like or are afraid of every once in a while.
- Review my projects
- TI: I made more meta-progress on this one than actual progress this week. Forming a new company, finding the right environment for it to thrive in, talking to lawyers, etc. But, as of yesterday continuing to make progress on the actual project as well.
- Track Your Happiness: Getting some new reports set up with a better graphing library. Converted all but one of the new charts and starting to think about what else I should cover.
- Standards: Starting to think about how to open it up so that others can use it. Things I need to do: make it easier to set-up, swap to jquery, figure out what should be public versus private, figure out how much customization I want to let people have.
- Mirror, Mirror: neglected
- Adventure School: neglected
- Locavore: Waiting on some work, and also working with a friend to re-design the logo and launch screen. It’s gonna look a lot nicer.
- Review my goals
- Removed “do the eat local challenge for 30 days” — still interested in it but it’s just not high on my priorities right now.
- I feel like I should think about adding some more goals, but right now none are coming to me. So I’ll just focus on the goals that I have.
- Go through calendar and email to make sure I know about all my meetings and have responded to everyone I’m supposed to respond to — check
