Jupiter Posted January 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 I think I'm going to start a weekly review to gauge how I'm doing week to week. This may need some tweaking, but let's see how it goes. I may add a grading system too, I'm not sure yet. Week 1 progress: Fitness: Overall workouts: 4/5 Nutrition: Healthy foods, at least 1 serving: fruit 4/7 Intellectual: Revisions: 5/7 Outline: 0 Miscellaneous goals: Reading: 3/7 Cook Sunday breakfast: 1/1 Early bedtime: 3/7 Draw: 1/1 De-clutter: 1/1 Overall, not a bad start to the new year. 1 Quote New Battle Log, Old Battle Log, Current Challenge 2022 Challenges: Challenge 1, Challenge 2, Challenge 3, Challenge 4 2021 Challenges: Challenge 1, Challenge 2, Challenge 3, Challenge 4, Challenge 5, Challenge 6 2020 Challenges: Challenge 1, Challenge 2, Challenge 3, Challenge 4, Challenge 5, Challenge 6, Challenge 7 Link to comment
Jupiter Posted January 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 And now on to the new week. Sunday's Stats: Fitness: 100% plan: - Yoga 20-30 minutes 3 times a week - Strength training 10 minutes once a week - Walking 30 minutes once a week 10% plan: - Yoga 10 minutes - Strength training 5 minutes ✔️ -- Did some weights and box squats. Nutrition: 100% plan: - Eat 1 serving of fruit and veggies 2-3 times a week 10% plan: - Eat 1-2 servings of fruit or veggies every day ✔️ -- 1 serving of fruit. Intellectual: 100% plan: - Revise 1 and a half to 2 pages every day ✔️ -- Was mostly brain dead today but I finished the last few pages again. Still need to go back through one more time and make a few tweaks, but otherwise I feel so much better about this chapter. Hopefully after this last run through I can finally move on. - Write down 1 new plot point a week 10% plan: - Revise half a page. Miscellaneous goals: - Read 30 minutes a day -- Will do after I log off. - Cook breakfast on Sundays ✔️ -- Just some scrambled eggs with some salt and pepper. Nothing fancy. - Go to bed half an hour early - Draw once a week - De-clutter the junk room once a week Super low energy day, but still managed to get a few things done. And now I'm almost caught up on the Mandalorian. Pretty decent show. 5 Quote New Battle Log, Old Battle Log, Current Challenge 2022 Challenges: Challenge 1, Challenge 2, Challenge 3, Challenge 4 2021 Challenges: Challenge 1, Challenge 2, Challenge 3, Challenge 4, Challenge 5, Challenge 6 2020 Challenges: Challenge 1, Challenge 2, Challenge 3, Challenge 4, Challenge 5, Challenge 6, Challenge 7 Link to comment

Thanks! *** Monday's Stats: Fitness: 100% plan: - Yoga 20-30 minutes 3 times a week - Strength training 10 minutes once a week ✔️ -- Didn't want to do any workouts today, but I made myself do one anyway. And I think I overdid it a little bit, because my split squats by the end were pretty wobbly and my knee didn't like it. Ugh. - Walking 30 minutes once a week 10% plan: - Yoga 10 minutes - Strength training 5 minutes Nutrition: 100% plan: - Eat 1 serving of fruit and veggies 2-3 times a week 10% plan: - Eat 1-2 servings of fruit or veggies every day ✔️ -- Had 2 servings of fruit. Intellectual: 100% plan: - Revise 1 and a half to 2 pages every day ✔️ -- Still a little brain dead but I went over a few pages and I think I finally figured something out. I kept trying different scenarios for this small bit in this scene and while each one was better than the last, it still didn't seem quite right, but I think I've got it now. Rewrote a little bit of it, and now it sings. That's when I know it's right. Of course, I might see it differently tomorrow, but hopefully not. - Write down 1 new plot point a week 10% plan: - Revise half a page. Miscellaneous goals: - Read 30 minutes a day ✔️ -- Got in 30 minutes before bed last night. - Cook breakfast on Sundays - Go to bed half an hour early - Draw once a week - De-clutter the junk room once a week A bit brain dead tonight, so I think I'll go watch a movie for a bit and then hopefully head to bed early. 4 Quote New Battle Log, Old Battle Log, Current Challenge 2022 Challenges: Challenge 1, Challenge 2, Challenge 3, Challenge 4 2021 Challenges: Challenge 1, Challenge 2, Challenge 3, Challenge 4, Challenge 5, Challenge 6 2020 Challenges: Challenge 1, Challenge 2, Challenge 3, Challenge 4, Challenge 5, Challenge 6, Challenge 7 Link to comment

I was able to get in another hour or so of work after that. *** Ugh, I'm so behind on everyone's threads. Need to catch up. I really pushed to get this chapter done and I finished it today and sent it off to my mentor. I think, for the most part, it's done, and I won't have to do any more major rewrites. It just might need some tweaking. But that all depends on what my mentor says. Anyway, my friend is in town with her babies (eek!! I finally got to meet them!!), so my plans the next few days may be off. I went over to visit her today and helped with the babies, held them, carried them around etc. That counts as strength training right? 4 Quote New Battle Log, Old Battle Log, Current Challenge 2022 Challenges: Challenge 1, Challenge 2, Challenge 3, Challenge 4 2021 Challenges: Challenge 1, Challenge 2, Challenge 3, Challenge 4, Challenge 5, Challenge 6 2020 Challenges: Challenge 1, Challenge 2, Challenge 3, Challenge 4, Challenge 5, Challenge 6, Challenge 7 Link to comment

Jupiter Posted January 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 Today was not a very productive day. I had my meeting with my mentor in the afternoon and I was so nervous about it that I couldn't focus on anything. I didn't even eat most of the day. But I did laundry, caught up on a few episodes I missed and then tried to read a little bit until she called. Don't know why I was so worried though, because she said she loved it. She said it was much stronger than the last time and that I only needed to do a few tweaks and it was good to go, which made me super happy. Now to make the changes and move on to the next chapter. Roughly 5 chapters left now. So, didn't really do anything I'd planned today. But at least I had 1 and a half servings of fruit after the meeting. ETA: Also did 3 sets of box squats. 4 Quote New Battle Log, Old Battle Log, Current Challenge 2022 Challenges: Challenge 1, Challenge 2, Challenge 3, Challenge 4 2021 Challenges: Challenge 1, Challenge 2, Challenge 3, Challenge 4, Challenge 5, Challenge 6 2020 Challenges: Challenge 1, Challenge 2, Challenge 3, Challenge 4, Challenge 5, Challenge 6, Challenge 7 Link to comment

Aquarii Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 I love the structure of your thread and the way it allows you to choose between 100% and 10%. Seems like a great way to keep things flexible but make sure you are still moving forward at least a little bit every day. 1 Quote Chaotic-Neutral, Elven Bladesinger (Apprentice): Level 1 Current Stats: STR 11 || DEX 11 || CON 12 || INT 15 || WIS 15 || CHA 12 Goal Stats: STR 14 || DEX 17+ || CON 14 || INT 18+ || WIS 18+ || CHA 14 "To dare is to lose one's footing momentarily; to not dare is to lose one's self". - Søren Kierkegaard Link to comment
