Habit Tracking: Week 28 (July 11 - July 17)

[mistressofmuses]

Stickers this week are bees! Because we went to the Botanic Gardens

This week was... okay. The first part of it was good, with the shortish hike in Matthews/Winters Park and the trip to the Denver Botanic Gardens. But the work week itself was kind of a struggle. I had multiple days that left me feeling burned out and stressed, to where I just didn't want to do anything once I was home at night. I didn't have a lot of goals for the week, though I did fine on all of them, including keeping up with Camp NaNo (despite the exhaustion from work.)

For my additional goals:
- I did keep up on Camp NaNo
- I cleaned Broccoli Cheddar Bomb's habitat
- I read a bit more of Angel of the Overpass

For my tracked habits:
- Work - 5/7 as usual
- Household Maintenance - 1/7, just cleaning out the frog habitat and watering plants
- Physical Activity - 2/7
- Wrote 500/1000+ Words - 7/7, one of which was over 1000
- Meta Work - 1/7
- Personal Writing - 7/7
- Other Creative Things - 2/7, mostly pictures of the hike and gardens
- Reading - 7/7, mostly fic, some of my book
- Video Games - 0/7
- Social Interaction - 7/7

Total words of fiction written: 5247 words. (1512 on Step Right Up ad 3735 on Connections of the Heart.)

Yay bees! :) Kinda feel like shopping online for stickers now lol.

Good on you for keeping up with all your habits, especially with all the work stuff happening. ^^;; Being consistent seems to be paying off in terms of results (I'm saying this as a person who has trouble being consistent). Looking forward to the finished chapters, seems like Connections of the Heart is progressing well. :D

I love stickers, haha. I should get more, just so I have some variety for my tracker, lol.

Thank you! I've been trying. This time of year is always hard at work, because it's when everyone panics about summer ending and school starting, and want us to perform miracles to get things scheduled.
Consistency is a HUGE challenge for me, and that is something the tracker has helped with. Visually seeing how long it's been since I've done something helps me not put things "out of sight, out of mind." It's paid off fairly well in terms of writing, if nothing else.

And thanks! Connections of the Heart is going to need some real work on rewriting Chapter 2, but I'm happier with a few of the scenes in Chapter 3 (which wound up longer than planned...)
