Habit Tracking: Week 04 (January 19 - January 25)

[mistressofmuses]

It was very cold and snowy this week, so have a yeti. There was also a yeti character in the book I was reading.

We went to see Nosferatu

This was a mostly okay week. Really not enjoying the weather, though! Miserably cold at the start of the week, gross and snowy at the end. I definitely was (am) really struggling with The State of Things, trying not to get bogged down by all the awful in every direction, but often failing. I am happy about the amount of steady writing progress I made, despite it still being slower than I'd hoped, and that I realize a lot of it will very much need a rewrite or few. (I am just approaching the halfway point of the story that I'd hoped to finished with last month!) I am also happy about the continued reading! I finished two books and started two more. I did realize just how much I've been neglecting all the various household things I've intended to do, so need to focus in a bit more on that.

Goals for the week:

• I did finish Somewhere Beyond the Sea
• I did get more writing done
• I worked on my reading page
• Still didn't set up the phone
• I did not get the Christmas stuff put away
• I did not clean off my bedside table
• I did not start on the stuff pile
• I did not prep my NaMo model
• I did start reading Down Among the Sticks and Bones, which I then finished
• I started reading Never Say You Can't Survive
• I started reading Trouble and Her Friends
• I watered my plants
• I attended a mandatory meeting at work

Tracked habits:

• Work - 5/7
• Household Maintenance - 2/7
• Physical Activity - 1/7
• Wrote 500/1000+ Words - 5/7 - two days of over 1000 words, three days of over 500
• Wrote on 2nd+ Draft - 0/7
• Meta Work - 3/7
• Personal Writing - 4/7
• Other Creative Things - 2/7
• Reading - 7/7 - Read and finished Somewhere Beyond the Sea, read a bit of my ebook, read Down Among the Sticks and Bones, started Never Say You Can't Survive, started Trouble and Her Friends
• Attention to Media - 7/7 - Sunday I watched some youtube videos and then half-watched some true-crime show later; Monday we watched some tornado videos and some urban exploration videos; Tuesday we went to see Nosferatu which I did quite like; Wednesday we watched an episode of Kitchen Nightmares and then an ep of Animal Control and then some true crime; Thursday we watched The Hopewell Haunting which was kind of boring, and I think we'd already watched, and then Wake Wood which was better, but my focus was gone; Friday we watched Animosity, which was a pretty decent horror, especially for apparently being a student film; Saturday we half-watched some storm chasing videos. I know we watched Abbott Elementary but I don't remember what day that was.
• Video Games - 0/7
• Social Interaction - 6/7

Total words written: 5262 words on my current WIP plus my reactions to Never Say You Can't Survive

Thank you! I'm kind of regretting the fact I went for a low wordcount goal on all my yearly challenges, because I've actually gotten a TON more written this month than I ever expected.

*Fistbump* I'm so glad I'm not the only one who still had Xmas stuff up almost all the way through January, haha. We fiiiinally got most of it put away earlier this week. Most of it.
