Sometimes, I don’t realize how much I’m doing until I sit down to write these roundup posts. I’ve been: getting | talking | planning | experimenting | trying | catching | making | meeting | starting | refining
The 2018 Reboot | Finale
Technically speaking September was only four months ago.
But 2018 has been the longest year ever, and it feels like it was at least two years ago that I decided I needed to make some changes.
Back in August, every project I was working on had either stalled or was moving too slowly to see any real progress. My motivation had plummeted. I was in a rut, and I needed to get myself out of that rut, and I needed to figure out how to avoid falling into it again. And so in September, I came up with a short list of things I wanted to do by the end of the year. They weren’t huge goals – and they definitely weren’t dramatic – but it was about building a system that could support my bigger goals going into the future.
We’re fast approaching the end of the year, so it’s time to look back at how (and whether) my reboot has worked, and where I’m going from here.
The 2018 Reboot | Week 10 Check-In
I suppose it was inevitable, and I’m not at all surprised it’s happening now, when the days are getting noticeably colder and shorter, and it feels like winter – and the end of the year – is just around the corner.
The doubts are starting to creep in.
The 2018 Reboot | Week 5 Check-In
It’s been a while since I checked in on this little project of mine (here’s the explanation for my absence, if you missed it), but I’m happy to say that it’s only the check-ins that I’ve missed. I haven’t been neglecting the reboot itself, and I’m actually kind of impressed with the progress I’ve made in the past few weeks, despite everything.
The 2018 Reboot | Week 2 Check-In
It’s time to check in on the progress I’ve been making with my work/life reboot.
In general, it hasn’t been a bad week… even if I’ve had a few days in a row that have felt like I completely stalled on all the progress I’d been making. Really, that’s why these regular updates are helpful for me: they make me sit down and think about each of my individual goals, and honestly assess how I’ve been doing. It’s so easy to let a few bad days discourage me (or to get complacent after a few particularly good days), but when I look at the week as a whole… it’s good. I like the progress I’m seeing.
Mostly.
The 2018 Reboot
It’s been a long, hot summer, and in the past few months I have fallen out of every good habit I’d managed to establish in the first half of the year.
Sketchbook #28
It turns out that getting three colds in the span of a month – and dropping Thanksgiving in in the middle of that – doesn’t exactly do wonders for my creativity or productivity.
Who knew?
So… yeah. October wasn’t a fantastic month.
Really, I’m fine with it. It wasn’t great, but in general, I’m happy with what I have been getting done under the circumstances.
Snapshot #88 | 10 Things for 22 October 2017
The last two weeks would’ve been better if I didn’t keep getting colds. Still, I’ve been: loving | looking | making | enduring | starting | staying | daydreaming | hoping | thinking | exploring
Snapshot #58 | 10 Things for 28 August 2016
Finally starting to get back on track. Sort of. The last few weeks, I’ve been: getting | clearing | loving | making | looking | trying | enduring | falling | hoping | wondering
