Lately I’ve been doing a lot of haphazard challenges where I just pick a couple of goals I think I should work on and go for it, but I feel like I’ve been spinning my wheels and not really making any meaningful progress. This time I’m going to focus on laying some groundwork to get into position to tackle my bigger goals in future challenges. That means... Finish Kondoing my room. A clean, uncluttered, tidy space is key for my mental comfort and productivity. I started this two challenges ago and have now begun on “miscellany,” so it shouldn’t be too difficult to finish that and “sentimental items” this month. Finish transcribing the Crisis Core script. For some reason after ten years we still only have a translation of the Japanese script online, and it’s missing some crucial info. Plus the official English script was translated really differently so I’d like to have this resource. Since I don’t participate on tumblr, producing this is a good way for me to connect with the fandom community. Includes all plot script, NPC conversations, DMW scenes, text on various documents Zack finds, menu options, and maps of areas densely populated with unnamed NPCs, including NPC locations. I have a lot still to do on this so finishing completely is kind of a reach-goal. If I can get through at least one chapter a week, that’s a good start. Get back into the habit of writing regularly. A friend and I are doing a weekly writing exchange with a due date (Wednesdays at 10pm) so I should be covered for this, but I need to not make excuses or cancel on her for any reason. Begin job search. As you can see, none of these are exactly physical fitness related. However, they all have a direct impact on my future health, happiness, and resilience. Clearing out my room will create a physical space for me to exercise (stretch, GMB Elements, etc), and help prevent the mental clutter and unease that comes with untidiness. The Crisis Core script is a big item that’s been lurking on my “to-do” list and I’d like to cross it off to free up some mental space. When I write regularly, I feel more creative, more energetic, and more productive. And by beginning my job search, I can make tangible progress towards improving my professional situation. Getting a new job will also impact my ability to move out of my parent’s household, which would relieve emotional stress.
