I’ve been feeling great about myself this month. There’s been a lot of positive mood recorded, especially towards the last half of the month. The records speak for themselves: 2024November: 130December: 182 2025January: 212February: 259March: 255April: 253May: 344 Since November, daily activities have seen a 260% increase.

Anger has been a large part of my experience lately. Despite the overall positive mood, I feel mildly worried, bitter, frustrated, and distant from my partner. Meditation is something I’d like to bring closer to an everyday, teeth-brushing level of regularity, and I think that’s achievable. I’ve noticed mindfulness actively helping over the last few…

I’ve been in a good mood since the 16th. Between a small promotion at work and feeling more in control of myself lately, I think a lot of the usual self-critical factors have been diminished for the time being. The 30th is approaching and with it the next step on the long journey to the…

I want to write a project in java this month that will let me automate some travel processes from my custom ttrpg. As they currently are, I worry that there is too much dice rolling and table checking to keep things flowing the way I want them to in game. Programming this system should let…

When I began my activity project, I expected to quickly run into a “wall” of difficulty and after establishing a baseline at that wall, working from there to steadily improve. Instead, over the last 4 months, I’ve seen continuous improvement in activity numbers. Its surprising, and prompts me to reconsider my expectations for what seems…

Last month I wrote that the goals for February were going to be “a major step up in challenge compared to the previous 3 months”. I was both excited and apprehensive at the thought of making 4 separate goals to be completed, each a substantial step up from last month. To simultaneously improve across mental…
