So, some thoughts on the month thus far (which is most of the month): 1. I have definitely made progress in making my work days less fragmented. Most days I have managed to spend the majority of the day, often in one nearly-contiguous block, working on a single thing. This is very good. 2. I accepted one new work obligation I really should have turned down this month. This is less good. It felt like a favor for a friend. I should have just refused. Oh well. I did manage to turn down one other thing. So I could have done worse. 3. Relaxing at home… I’m still spending a bit more time on “random shit” and a bit less time on my hobbies than I’d like. As February approaches, I think I should: 1. Make some concrete goals for the month for things I’d like to get done. What is a reasonable amount to accomplish, at work and at home? The most important goal for each? (Just thinking this already reveals some tension—I kind of have trouble picking what I think the most important work project is to finish in Februrary, but if I don’t even know that, how am I going to avoid spreading myself thin again??) 2. Make a [new on-theme goal](https://forum.beeminder.com/t/new-months-resolutions-2025/12082/21). Possibilities include: do-less goal for watching youtube? do-more goal for piano practice? A toggl goal on whichever project I decide is most important to finish at work? Some other goal for the most important project to finish at work? --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.beeminder.com/t/the-year-of-big-rocks/12078)._
