Habit Tracking: Week 31 ( July 31 - August 06)
The Most Obnoxiously Sparkly Owl
This was a better week, I think. Weirdly social, between the album release party later in the week and seeing a friend on Tuesday to pick something up. I also managed to get all my goals for the week done. I did have some midweek frustration about time management, and while those issues are still present, I felt better after.
Goals for the week:
- I posted Chapter 3 of All Strange Wonders
- I finally sent back comments and clarifications on the previous chapter in my friend's book
- Alex and I went to Vicki and Dana's house to pick up some stuff they'd picked up for us at a model event.
- I did write more than 5000 words on Outbreak
- I did read a bit more of Seasonal Fears though my momentum keeps stalling out
- I did my July check-in for Get Your Words Out: 37,201 words for July (a total of 137,433 words for the year so far.)
- We went to our friend's album release show.
Tracked habits:
- Work - 5/7
- Household Maintenance - 3/7
- Physical Activity - 2/7
- Wrote 500/1000+ Words - 0/7
- Wrote on 2nd+ Draft - 4/7, all of which were over 1000 words
- Meta Work - 6/7
- Personal Writing - 7/7
- Other Creative Things - 2/7
- Reading - 5/7, a mix of rereading some fic and reading Stranger Things
- Attention to Media - 6/7 - a lot again this week. We worked our way through a lot of Hulu's "Into the Dark" movies. Monday - Finnish horror called Hatching with descriptive audio, Culture Shock which I really liked, and Flesh & Blood which was fairly average. Tuesday - Pooka and Good Boy which were both mildly silly but entertaining horror. Wednesday - Blood Moon and Crawlers which were both pretty average horror. Thursday - My Valentine and Midnight Kiss which I liked okay, and A Nasty Piece of Work which was more of a dark humor horror. Friday - watched the season finale of Alone, and then half-watched School Spirit and Uncanny Annie which were both fairly so-so.
- Video Games - 0/7
- Social Interaction - 7/7
Total words written: 6035

6035 is a good word count!

I'm always impressed by people who are able to keep a habit tracker like this. I've tried it once, but I didn't last a month...

This was my third or fourth serious attempt at tracking stuff. I think the other ones made it for... a couple weeks or so at most, haha. It's been helpful - I like having a record of the things I do. Particularly when I have a really difficult time for a while, it's nice to look back and really be able to see that I haven't been stuck in a rut forever!

The habit tracker is actually SUPER helpful for those GYWO check-ins - I keep up with the tracker by filling it out as soon as I'm done with my writing for the night so that I can record my wordcount, too.
And hey, I've started to do the same with my document titles! I have each chapter of any given work as a separate file, and I tack the wordcount onto it, so I can easily add up my total for the work as a whole, and see how the chapters compare to each other.
I did have to go through a couple incarnations of what I track, as well as adjusting it to make sure it's a very positive thing - no tracking anything that makes me feel guilty, and with a few "freebies" in there that I KNOW I'll be able to fill out often enough that even in a slump nothing is totally blank.
