I've been away for a while and now I'm coming back. Many games have grindy parts that don't really progress the story or directly get you closer to the main boss. It's looking like I'll be spending this challenge on the stupid stuff that keeps me from progressing. Main quest: Get the house so that it takes care of me more than I take care of it. My last challenge, I had a 12-week plan to track how much time I was spending on housework and then work on limiting how much I did. This challenge, I'm going to be a little bit more lax and just note what I did so that I know that I'm doing something. I'm not sure how to score it if I wait so long that I can't remember what I did on a particular day. I also want to note the answer to the question "Did I do enough?" at every day, roughly every week, for the two halves of the challenge, and for the whole challenge. Good answers are actually "eh, sorta," or "no, and I'm too tired to care." Last Sunday I did a stupendous amount of work, like 16 hours, and was frustrated that I dropped from exhaustion when I wanted to keep going. It put me out of commission for most of the week. Grind 1: Keep track of what I did in the day Grind 2: Answer the question "Did I do enough?" Since last challenge, I still haven't resolved the creeping issue of cooking. Many times I have regretted not buying hot pockets. The main idea is to get some freezer-to-oven meals into the freezer, but I'll go easy on myself because it's harvest season and include everything from loading the dehydrator to brewing beer. Grind 3: cook at least 6 things for future consumption. XP seems a little bit inappropriate for what I am doing, except for the freezer-to-oven stuff. Some grinds are just to get to a high enough level to progress, or enough currency to get gear, or the gear itself. Other grinds are meaningless except that you get a piece of bling to prove that you did it.
