General
- Vacations and all the breaks associated with it are really important. I cannot overstate how helpful it is to step away from Beeminder for a week or two and come back to it with fresh eyes. Take breaks everybody!
- I stumbled up on a very helpful course “Learning how to learn”.
- I have removed all my recurring goals in Taskwarrior. The app is just not great in handling recurrence, yet.
- Work Cycles sounds like an interesting idea.
Learning Finnish
Current goals:
- clozemaster
- memrise
- NEW! anki
The new Anki goal is not a autodata goal (for now). I simply log a point if I use it every weekday.
I started to use anki when I was doing the aforementioned online course about learning and I have found it to be a much more intense learning experience than both clozemaster and memrise have been. I still try to find out what is a good amount of new cards for me each day before making this an autodata goal. Also I have two decks in anki which are not about learning Finnish, but about web development and learning, these might have to be tracked independently, but let’s see first if that’s necessary.
Keep a Daily Rhythm
Current goals:
No changes. But I’m thinking about adding a quitontime goal to give me enough time each day to decompress.
Stay in Contact With Family
Current goals:
No changes.
Reading, Writing, Consuming Media
Current goals:
blogdraft has been changed to be an input based goal. I’m very happy with the draft for my next post, but it’s not finished yet and I don’t want to rush it. I have decided to invest two hours a week to work on my draft. It is ready when it’s ready. This might mean that my blog and/or blogtopic goal needs adjustment, but I will cross that bridge when I come to it.
I have retroratched lesspods. I’m addicted to listening to podcasts. And I’m cheating myself to listen to more podcasts than my rational mind would want to (by having a too lenient weekend allowance). I want to listen to one episode a day and maybe one before going to sleep, while laying in bed. So committing to two a day is fine. But I have also dialed down my allowance on the weekend to 3 (was 7) for the weekends-off feature.
