Keegs’ beeminder journal:
Hi! I introduced myself over in the other introductory thread.
New stuff:
-
nocomputer: I mark this as +1 if I woke up with no computer in my room. I have a newish habit of keeping my non-work computer completely disconnected and packed away in the closet most days. If I need it, I get it, but this goal prevents me from getting used to it being there. So far so good. My smartphone usage is already tightly controlled with a Brick, so I’m closing in on having a highly disconnected non-work life, which is great.
-
alcohol: My first do-less goal. Got in the habit recently of having a beer most evenings. It’s fine. But I don’t want it to grow, so I’m setting a 1.5/day limit. Probably will taper this down to 1/day to encourage a nicer cycle of sobriety & celebration.
Stuff that cost me money:
-
withdraw: I got paid and decided I wanted to buy a whole bunch of stuff, so I bit the bullet and spent some savings. Savings tax now at $10!
-
alcohol: I just didn’t set it up right at first. Figured it out. Happy to pay the small fee. Alcohol tax now at $10!
Other thoughts:
I have 14 goals! Most of them manual. Feels like a fine amount. I like that if I do all my goals I am on top of my life: it means I’ve done some solid work while at work, I’ve studied all the things I love to study, my kids are learning stuff, and I am getting stronger! I should probably add something good-husband-y.
My anki goal was feeling boring so I started memorizing all the countries in the world and now it’s fun again.
