So lately I’ve been working on getting things set up to survive long term. I’m building my whole basement into a hydroponic farm with zero outside help. It’s been a hell of a challenge because I have some major issues with executive dysfunction, motivation, etc. but it’s also something I’ve been wanting to do in some capacity since my early adulthood (I’ve scaled way way way down as life happened).
But I’ve been making progress. A few hours a day, even. It’s not all the things I need to do, and most of them are things I don’t particularly want to do either, but any progress is good progress. Everything I do today is one fewer things I need to do later when the need is more pressing. And that, at least, feels good. Knowing that all I have to do later is move this thing to its final home, makes it easier to make/set up the thing now.
So tell me about some progress you’ve been making that isn’t “as good as it should be” based on arbitrary external metrics, but gets you one or more steps closer to your personal goals (no employment-related stuff please, personal goals are for your own fulfillment, not your company.)
That’s neat! I love the building of new skills! They are great for your brain. Like brushing your teeth with your non-dominant hand to build new neural connections.
It’s never too late to start reshaping your brain so I’m pumped you are doing that, it sounds fun!
Do you plan to use that skill for anything, or just for funsies?
Yep! I’ve been learning the guitar since last year. My current goal with it is to be able to play any songs by ear (or at least, cover the on the spot)
So i figured this is probably important to learn too, and started practicing it daily
