Opening thoughts:
Little bit of a rough week, not helped by having two migraines.
New goals:
- /getout - A new goal for the New Month’s Resolutions thread. This one’s for intentionally getting out of the house (and not just for chores), and is currently set to a rate of 3/week. We’ll see how it goes… I wrote a bit more about it in that thread.
- /inkbloodsisterscribe - It’s been a while since I had a book-specific reading goal! But I’ve been kind of stalling on this book, even though I like it, so I resurrected the practice. The rate is just 5 pages a day, but there’s an autoratchet so I can only have a day’s buffer. I’m a little worried I’m going to insta-derail it, but more or less as we speak me and @dreev made a little bargain to try to boost the goal’s effectiveness for me, as an experiment.
Changes to existing goals:
- /odysseyreadathon - This goal is finished! And I made it, reading 45.4 hours in 10 days. Actually 9 days, since I think Bookly have stuffed up their timings (probably forgetting that midnight UTC on the 28th means the readathon ends just as the 28th begins, rather than when it ends) and the readathon ended at 1am BST on the 28th. It was a lot of reading, and it made my /timeforme goal look a bit wild!
- /stopbyseven - Added a break to earn buffer back, though it’ll take a week from when I set the break for that to kick in. Here’s hoping I don’t derail in the meantime!
- /physio - Ditto.
- /lshtm_time - Added another break, because I wasn’t feeling well.
- /morningpages - This goal has now been archived, because it reached the end date and I decided it’s not working out for me, at least right now.
Closing thoughts:
I need to start thinking about the breaks I need for my exams, and then a little after that, for the release of the new expansion of the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV, which has a free trial that includes the entirety of A Realm Reborn, the award-winning Heavensward, and the also award-winning expansion Stormblood. You can play up to level 70 for free with no restrictions on playtime!
Sorry, it’s a bit of a meme… 
Anyway, Dawntrail’s due to come out, and because I’m a raider™ now, I need to get through the main story quite quickly in order to ensure I’m ready for the raid release… and I don’t think I’ll want to do all my Beeminder goals during that time, though there’ll be some that remain appropriate.
