Habit Tracking: Week 36 ( September 04 - September 10)

[mistressofmuses]

Labor day was this week, so have some unionized insects to celebrate!

This was an okay week. The weekend was fun, as I always love hanging out with Taylor. The work week was a little rougher, doing a lot of rescheduling due to bad things happening to other people, but it wasn't the worst. Frustratingly, I did no writing of any kind. Eventually that was a conscious choice, and I'm not completely sure whether I feel like it was a good one or not. I wanted to try and just take a break entirely to see if that would make some motivation come back, and... maybe it worked? But it also means I've got no new words on the page.

Goals for the week:
- I did spend Labor Day with Taylor
- I went to the dentist (and got a filling) on Tuesday
- I did not put my laundry away, and it's judging me from the basket
- I did read more of Seasonal Fears - significantly more, even!
- I have not started my Set Sail fic

Tracked habits:
- Work - 5/7
- Household Maintenance - 3/7
- Physical Activity - 1/7
- Wrote 500/1000+ Words - 0/7
- Wrote on 2nd+ Draft - 0/7
- Meta Work - 3/7
- Personal Writing - 7/7
- Other Creative Things - 1/7
- Reading - 7/7, a bit of fic, but mostly Seasonal Fears (including a LOT on Saturday)
- Attention to Media - 4/7 - Monday, rewatched episodes 5 and 6 of The Sandman with my mom and Taylor; Wednesday, watched an episode of Reservation Dogs. Thursday, watched an episode of American Horror Stories. Friday, watched an episode of Alone with Alex.
- Video Games - 3/7, playing Nier: Replicant with Taylor
- Social Interaction - 7/7

I love the unionised worker bees!

Sometimes fertility needs a period of lying fallow to precede it. If it worked, that's good, and if it didn't, you found out.

Yes! Much love to the unionized bees!

I think it was a good choice. I wrote at least a little bit yesterday and felt better about it than I have in weeks, ha.

That's great! I'm glad you gave yourself to chance to try this out and see if it works for you.
