  • self-gratitude: i’m grateful that i was able to focus well on my reading for work before i went to the office and finished it in one go. also grateful that it didn’t take up all my pre-office-time, so i still had some time to spend freely as well!
    (wow, i wrote this only a few hours ago but it already feels like a whole other day. time is wild!)
  • i’m immensely grateful that don kept me from ordering a wrong cable yet again. will i ever have working headphones again? who knows! fingers crossed that the next cable fits, otherwise i think i’ll tear my hair out and just get new headphones probably …
  • i’m grateful it was an overall okay-to-good day. definitely some grave annoyances and negative things, but also positive things and overall nothing Horribly Bad. also, new beeminder goal to hopefully finally make me actually do my phone transfer within a (now) reasonable time, i guess that’s a big long-term-positive thing. xD

  1. SGQ: really taking seriously my weekly review. This is the best way to get the benefits.
  2. This book: When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing by Daniel H. Pink | Goodreads. It turns out that energy level fluctuate around the day. I’m starting to respect my own body’s schedule instead of a theoretical one :slightly_smiling_face:. I highly recommend it to people working at home!
  3. My sister made pasta with pesta, which I like a lot
  4. There is a lot of green areas around my home, so I can take breaks better.

  • self-gratitude: i’m grateful i decided to go to the work-related-ish evening event tonight. thanks to that i easily met my steps goal. also
  • i’m grateful that the work-related-ish evening event turned out okay and was very amusing here and there, so it didn’t feel like a chore or wasted time.
  • i’m grateful i remembered and went through with my nightly duolingo practice. i’m trying to strengthen the routine of morning duolingo + evening duolingo. (between 6 am and noon, so right after i wake up; and between 6 pm and midnight, so sometime in the evening.) that means xp boosts each time i practice, which is nice.

  • i’m grateful i can be at the office tomorrow one hour later than usual!

  • i’m grateful for the wonderful dinner i had tonight. curry udon! :yum: the dessert was also very good!
  • i’m grateful i perceived today’s time at the office as way more chill and way less stressful than yesterday’s. don’t know if that’s objectively true, but it’s amazing in either case to feel more positive and relaxed about [anything] (and work in particular).
  • self-gratitude: i’m grateful i brought all my goals out of the red tonight. (if you look at my dashboard and think “wait, you’re lying, two goals are still red,” you’d be wrong, because these don’t count. one is my steps goal which is broken until i get my new debit/credit card, and the other one has a 3 p.m. deadline and i have to check it off after i wake up tomorrow, so it’s not red-because-about-to-derail-red, it’s misleadingly-red-but-actually-safe-and-well-still-red. xD)

  1. This baby elephant playing a chasing game with its caretaker.

  • i’m grateful i got to try out a fun new activity today.
  • i’m grateful for a really fun evening with friends.
  • self-gratitude: i’m grateful i tried my best at the fun new activity, and intermittently, i don’t think i did too bad. In any case, after a few tries and fails i successfully managed to do a thing right at least some of the time.
