Hello comrades and welcome to the first improvement megathread of October! bonfire

As usual, some discussion ideas:

  • Do you want to share something you've done in the previous week? Everything counts, nothing is too small.
  • Do you have any goals or plans for next week?
  • Do you have any streaks? For example, "sober for one day." Feel free to post your streak every day in this thread.
  • If you don't have a continuous streak, did you manage to abstain from something for a day or more?
  • Did you come across some useful information or resource that might help others?

Good luck with your goals! solidarity

    I'm still trying to find more ways to reclaim my attention and free time. I have deleted a lot of the apps on my phone. So many of them serve ZERO purpose and do nothing for me in the short term or long term. I'm not see any real changes or impact yet but I'm thinking that all of those little "micro-interactions" with my phone will add up to lets say 3-5 per week.

    I'm trying to find a better "routine" as far as cooking and cleaning as well. Keeping my domain orderly is a big help for me but finding a pattern that works still hasn't really settled for me. I'd rather keep it clean and orderly rather than having to clean and order things when they are in disarray.

    Finding time to really lock in and do my game development was rough last week. I didn't make much progress on anything, I'm even trying to log my work in a journal/blog but it really highlights how little I have done and how far i have to go. Making even tiny micro lame-o games is far more demanding on my time than I would like. But still I want to make games as a hobby so I gotta find a pathway to fulfill this desire, because I'm worth the effort.

    Diet and exercise remain on point. Doing more cardio, slightly less weight training and I'm seeing improvement in body composition. Still making sure to do regular heavy resistance days but I'm really hopeful to see my cardio endurance improve.
