This went pretty well! I didn’t log in every day, and sometimes on raid days I didn’t get much done… but I did finish all my crafting relics in cosmic exploration, and get back into doing some casual content.
After a recent bout of trouble with my teeth, one problem identified is that I seem to clench my teeth in my sleep. One suggestion to help with this is to force jaw relaxation with gentle massage and pressure on trigger points. Alright, let’s give it a shot. I’ll go with three times a day: when I wake up to ease any tension from overnight, sometime in the middle of the day just to help make it a habit, and at night before bed.

I just updated my overall list for this year and wow! I hadn’t realised I’d got so many goals that stuck – they’re all still active! My /postcrossing goal had some breaks during the hot weather when it just wasn’t safe to be walking to the postbox, and while I was overwhelmed, but otherwise… whoa.

My July goal was plant-repotting. I’ve reported-taken care of a bunch of problematic plants! This one is here to stay!
In a similar theme, my August goal will be mowing the lawn. I only expect to do this once every two weeks, so it won’t come up often, but I hope this will help me stay on track with keeping my backyard lawn nice.

A bit early because I’m going away at the weekend: I’ve decided that my goal for September is going to be trying to read more books in English. All my other reading goals are for Japanese books, and I’ve become weirdly intimidated by reading in my native language for some reason. So this is long overdue, easing back into it with 10 pages per days as logged on Storygraph.

August goal is humming along nicely. It’s nice to set aside time for something I love but don’t make time for without a push.
For September, I’m going to track working out. I’ve got some dance shows coming up that I need to stay in shape for, so I’m going to try to average 60 zone minutes per day on my FitBit.

My August goal was mowing the lawn. I only ended up doing it twice, but it was fun both times and the lawn is looking great.
My September goal is rosebud. Rosebud is an AI Journaling App that my personal coach suggested I try. I’m going to try to do a journaling session 3 days a week, and then turn it up if I feel inspired. I’m hoping that this will help me feel less stressed with some big life changes going on in my life right now.

Well, this was useless. I don’t think it helped at all, because the jaw muscles in question don’t actually seem to be tense during the day. I’m dropping this goal.
I need to figure out which of my goals are working and which are causing more stress or annoyance than they solve. I have some ideas already, but I’d rather gather data properly over the course of a month and decide based on that.
Hence this goal! I’ve made a spreadsheet, and this goal is for helping me fill it out. Each day, I’ll identify the three goals I feel most “ugh” about on a given day (though I can add more if it’s a particularly ‘ugh’ day).
I’m not committing myself to acting on the data; no matter how “ugh” I find doing my physio, I can’t stop it. But if at the end of the month I consistently find something “ugh”, and it’s not something essential, it’ll be time to drop it, redefine it, or figure out what makes it ugh and change that.

My sleeptracking goals have been tentatively useful; it at least gives me a faster feedback loop for how badly my sleep is going at any given time, and pushes me to not just ignore it in hopes it gets magically better.
I’m going to steal @shanaqui 's idea and make an ugh goal myself, although I’m going to broaden it to three tasks I’m ugh about that day: thorns – lanthala – beeminder I’m using URLminder to actually track it, 3 words a day. I definitely need to drop some things with my new job, and this hopefully will help me figure out what isn’t worth it.
