Thanks to a late night manga binge, I woke up late. That delayed my plans for the day, but I gave myself so much slack, it wasn't a problem. It goes to show how important it is to understand your own habits to accurately predict what's possible in terms of scheduling and motivation. As time wears on, I'll slowly ratchet up the stakes, but as it is, I'm satisfied with my rate of progress.
Funnily enough, the most time consuming task I set out for this week is accumulating 100,000 VC. I'm on pace and I'm meeting my daily goals, but it's more work than I anticipated. After this week, I don't think I'll ever have to worry about VC again.
I was dreading today's run. Tuesdays and Thursdays are my jogging days. I went in the opposite direction this time (on the eastern bank instead of through the middle) and was besieged by winds so cold it burned. I could feel a pinprick on the bottom of my right foot that would increase in sharpness after I stepped on it. My ears pounded so hard, I had to stop and massage them for minutes. Yeah, it's gonna take me weeks to get used to this. I finished off the run through the Anaheim Coves Trail, which is a very scenic route. The entire run took me one hour and thirteen minutes. If I could get this route in under an hour, then I'd be satisfied.
I played Pokemon and got a Bulbasaur for my troubles. I think it's really cool that you can get two starter Pokemon in the game, one from new gen and classic gen. OG for life!
I love that I spread my tasks across multiple days, which noticeably decreases the pressure and stress I feel when I go about an assignment. Another tweak I'll introduce to my system is to color code my tasks. I separate them by category and it'll make it easier to see at a glance what I have to do for the day.
I finished devouring the Red Dragon.
I'm still a little behind in my schedule but I've accounted for it. So far, everything's been working out pretty well. I'm just trying to get into the swing of things.
