VellaMal Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 Hey, all, it's me again. I think this is something like my sixth respawn and I'm getting frustrated, but that's neither here nor there. I've reworked my plan again based on what didn't work last time, I've got a whole new set of goals and expectations, and a couple of brand new spreadsheets, and I'm ready to start banging my head on the brick wall again. I'm super excited to be back in the forums though! 3 Quote My Character Current Challenge: Starting from the Start Link to comment

Sloth the Enduring Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 What went wrong the last five times? Elaborate spreadsheets are great, but a lot of people around here need to simplify. One goal at time, build up, let the little snowball eventually become an avalanche.

One goal at time, build up, let the little snowball eventually become an avalanche. Not enough pre-prep, too much trying to load up individual days with tasks. Unfortunately, my ability to do little tasks like logging varies pretty wildly from day to day. The spreadsheets are a little step for me -- they're not intended to be used every day. They're all pre-prepared meal plans, so at the moment, all I need to do is to pick one, load up the grocery list on my phone (which is already all set up, too) and go for the week. If I get energy or inspiration, I can use the spreadsheets to put together more plans, but at the moment I've got a few good ones that mean I don't have to rely on being attentive enough to log every day or make a plan from scratch every week. But you're totally right -- I've tried to go the spreadsheets-and-regular-logging route in the past and that didn't work. My main problem was simplifying in a way that meant I was still working from concrete numbers. Quote My Character Current Challenge: Starting from the Start Link to comment
