Habit Tracking: Week 11 (March 14 - March 20)

[mistressofmuses]

Got my Covid results back very quickly today - within about 45 minutes of my test - and it was negative. Not that I expected otherwise, but woo, no Covid! (Though sticking a swab up my nose wasn't the most fun I've ever had.)

But here's what may be the most belated of my to-do posts: My habit tracking from the week before last!


Some sparkly rainbow stars this week, I needed some cheering up.

I felt pretty okay about the week. I did not get as much done as I'd hoped, but honestly, it was a kind of rough week. We had the record-breaking snowstorm at the start of the week, I was worried about my grandmother and going to see her (and being afraid it would be too late). Plus, as my daily notes remind me, I was very badly feeling burned out in general, so I'm being forgiving toward myself.
For my various goals:
- I did edit Chapter 6 of Steffi's book
- I did not post about River of Teeth and Taste of Marrow (I still plan to and want to, but it keeps getting knocked down the list.)
- I did get over 2500 words on All Strange Wonders
- I did start The House in the Cerulean Sea (and it's so far as warm-feeling as I'd been told.)
- I did not get my laundry put away

For my tracked habits:
- Work - 4/7, since I was able to take the day of the blizzard off
- Household Maintenance - 2ish/7, both days pretty light
- Physical Activity - 1.5/7, going out in the snow to play with the dog, and then hiking around the new barn Alex's trainer is moving to (oh, the mud)
- Wrote 500/1000+ Words - 7/7!! Two days over 1000!!! I feel very pleased with this
- Meta Work - 7/7, though two days with a lesser amount (right now this is mostly incorporating my fix notes into the new draft)
- Personal Writing - 7/7, still keeping it up
- Other Creative Things - 1/7
- Reading - 4/7, mix of fic and book
- Video Games - 0/7
- Social Interaction - 7/7

Total words of fiction written: 5941 words on All Strange Wonders

I am VERY happy with that - it's far more than I've gotten in a week probably since November. Draft two definitely goes faster, but I'm still very pleased to have gotten so much written.

Wow, over 5k words is a great achievement by itself without having to cope with snowstorms and family problems. Also I think days when you physically could not get into work shouldn't count as not having done work. It's not a failure of the habit but an act of God!

Thank you! I was really happy to see that was my total for the week.

And also a good point - my lesser total of "work" days wasn't something changeable. But at least I got some other things done on that day!
