Not much to report, other than that I’ve been contemplating whether my TBR-related goals create more stress or rather reduce stress by telling me I have everything under control.
Just added breaks for when I travel at the end of this research stay in a week and then for a conference that will be taking place right after that.
Also (hopefully) I finally got to add proper guardrails to my code for one of the goals that could retrospectively increase the rate, making yesterday’s datapoint below the road and derailing me. I think I have derailed because of this maybe three times over the time of the existence of this goal, which always ended in embarrassing emails to support to ask them to undo the derailment. Embarrassing - because I should have known better if this keeps happening; could have made sure with the code that this doesn’t happen any more from the first time round.
This was my final week in Munich for the library research visit. Over the next few days, I will be at a conference, for which I am not yet fully ready. Because of these time-consuming travels and conference days, many of the more time-heavy goals are on hold right now, until I get back to Warsaw to settle into my new semester routine.

- tbr_arcs_locs — this is one of the goals that cannot be put on a break because it is fed from a script, so I was supposed to still do this on the day when I was finishing up at the library and packing but I genuinely forgot
The week included an intensive conference, so most goals were on a break, but I still choose to derail on the book reviews goal (because I couldn’t dedicate the time to it, needed to finish my slides/paper). Back to Warsaw now, the semester is about to start, so for the next few days, as I will be regrouping, I am planning to critically review how different goals are supporting my regime or not.
Last week, I introduced a new goal 5min_put_away as the new month resolution, and this has been the most helpful goal for such a low time and effort investment for quite a while. My kitchen/dining space is actually manageable and usable now? Just wow at myself for not having thought of that earlier.

Nothing really noteworthy apart from the general trend that I am falling behind on everything as the semester started, eating up all the existing buffers. Derailed on meta for that.

Not much to report. I have lowered the rate of my new goal 5min_put_away from 6/7 to 5/7, as the intervention is still very effective even when it’s not every day.
