1. Atomic Habits is great ....but I forgot to follow through 😅 Thanks for the reminder! 2. How do you keep track of time blocks? I like pomodoros for easier stuff, like cleaning, and I've considered time blocking but I just don't remember about it. Oh, and how do you actually start a task when you have a bit less motivation? 3. Right. I keep having it next to me. 4. This one's gonna be hard 😅 But you're right. A ton of things lose their sparkle after a day or two.

Yeees. The biggest trouble for me is to actually stay in contact with people. Thankfully everyone here acknowledges respawning as a part of life, not pretending it doesn't exist and making it awkward.

As for today, working out in the morning has become easier. Having finished level 1, I'm having fun with the kettlebell journey, using a 2kg dumbbell instead. I tried doing the yoga group challenge, but no. Brain can't take the lengthy workout. I'll go easy on it now, hopefully it eases once I get exercise regularly. About food, I need to keep candy limited. It's easy to take a piece or two to work, no more. The issue arises when I'm bored or upset. How to keep snacks at home and not eat them? Some people can do that and it's astonishing. I need to get back to flashcards after a few day period. Perhaps I'm not a study-in-bus kind of person and that's alright. Oh, and I want to keep the languages separated. They mix way too easily. Side note: I'm having an internship at a nursery (been there for 1 week). One of the kids just hugged me goodbye twice! So sweet ❤️ Even though it's mostly kids, it still feels better socially than sitting alone at home. EDIT: Does anybody know of short and sweet flexibility/yoga workouts? Under 10 min. Or do those just not exist?

I've always wanted to create a challenge based on a book series I loved as a teenager - CHERUB by Robert Muchamore. The goal is to become the highest ranked spy... Which sort of fits the Rebellion, doesn't it? Here's the ranking system I'll be using: The current villain I'm fighting is a vicious one - a master of distraction, chaos and all things sparkly. Adult ADHD His minions use various techniques: * Procrastination (waiting until night to work out) | Fight with: work out in the morning in pyjamas * Distraction (they make it impossible to commit to a longer workout) | Fight with: focus on short workouts like the Bodyweight series * Impulsivity: (checking phone or getting otherwise distracted) | Fight with: still searching for strategy * Poor time management: ("Now or not now. Usually not now." -Jessica McCabe) | Fight with: radically implementing productivity techniques * Poor money management: (splurging on stuff only to use it sporadically) | Fight with: still searching for strategy * ...and many more out there, lurking in the shadows. Notes: * Stick to short workouts. * Ignore vocabulary you know well. Focus on those you're not sure about. * Food... This is a battle. I know where I want to be (keto+IF) but I'm not sure if I have the strength to do it. I just snack emotionally way too often. * Get those Russian resources eventually. I'll be updating everyday battles here. Hopefully I'll fulfill the dream of having a looong thread, full of joy. By the way, this Rebellion is big. Does anyone have tips and tricks for these challenges and/or generally ADHD problems?

Hi there, old friends and new! I'm finally respawning after like two months of inactivity? I guess the most important thing is to get back up again. Thanks to a proper medical treatment I'm hoping to learn to be more consistent. Wouldn't it be nice? I'll post here the link to the thread I'll start soon. EDIT: This is it:

2.5 kg/5.5 lbs dumbbells (+5 kg/11 lbs to add to each). I roughly shoot at lifting 100 kg/220.5lbs in the long term? Rn I'm not planning to become a Warrior, but it seems like being able to lift a ton helps you throw your body around much easier in parkour or gymnastics. I imagine so anyway, with no experience to back it up. Right now I alternate between the Bodyweight Level 1 Journey and Bender's Game Journey. Hopefully it's not an overload. It's the easiest level anyway, so it shouldn't do any harm. The one advantage dog owners have over cat owners ❤️ My cat would sleep all day long and then nap to rest from that.

Hi Spezz 👋 I forgot to say it in the survey and it's so important for you guys to know - thank you so much for making these workouts noob-friendly. I've tried a few programs and they're such a turn off for someone who's a total beginner because they're too long and exhausting (to be clear - they are great in general, just not for someone who doesn't have the habit established yet). And the workouts here are short and sweet. They create little resistance, even right before bed. I've been exercising consistently for over a week, not to mention all the walking and occasional messing with dumbbells - and that's more than I've done in past years. Thanks guys for all the work you do ❤️ Also turns out even wall slides can be exhausting when done properly 😂 And they look so innocent...

Woo hoo! Yesterday I realized I can do 3 push-ups at bed height level. It's been a week since I started exercising consistently (just earned General DOMS' jacket) and it's beginning to pay off. At the benchmark test I noped out after doing 10 push-ups at counter level and before doing even 1 at bed height. This is such a dream coming true. I'm beginning to believe that thanks to NF team I'll soon achieve my FIRST EVER real push-up! This is so exciting ❤️

I just finished creating a desktop vision board for 2022. It's my first time! It was so much fun ❤️ Sources: Pinterest&Canva

Oh, oh! You've got tutorials! Perfect I've been consistent with bodyweight and mobility workouts for the past few days. Reconnected with an old friend (what has more Christmas spirit than friends and family? ❤️ ) Now all that's left is dressing up the Christmas tree and baking gingerbread cookies. Anybody has tips on cutting out those, other than using tons of flour to make the dough even a little less sticky?

And because I want to be more self-compassionate about my weaknesses.

According to the author the beet juice doesn't do the job (probably bc cocoa powder makes the cake dark). She used powdered coloring, which is def stronger while I used a tube of gel coloring. It's definitely better for icing than cake batter. Another lesson learned 👍

Thanks ❤️ It was meant to be Red Velvet, so it's cake crumbs from the top

A late birthday party

Seeing those amazing pieces of writing around here makes me wonder if I want to have a year around the 13 Clan Mothers. It's something I wanted to do a long time ago, but the social challenges are the most off-putting. Somebody somewhere said that what we don't want to change the most is what we need to change the most.
