I'm getting closer and closer. One of these days, very soon, I'm actually going to check every item off the accountability list! For now, I'm very nearly there. I went to sleep an hour alter than intended

Well, I certainly tried, but it seems that despite sleep being my friend, I am not a very good friend with sleep. Yesterday's accountability list: Stay on my phone for <1 hour X Exercise ✓ Stretch ✓

Not 100% success, but I did hit most of the items on my list yesterday. I still call that a success! Stay on my phone for less than 1 hour ✓ Exercise ✓ Stretch ✓ Meditate ✓ Draw or read an art history

Yesterday I was previewing an album by a band I follow. They're called Talk to Her, and they play a sort of electronic indie rock post-punk music. Very evocative and emotional, I love them. They're my

I failed big time yesterday, and I have to take accountability for that. After all, that's the entire point of these accountability lists, isn't it? Figuring out what went wrong. The timing was spectacular,

It's definitely been a bit since I've posted one of these lists. I certainly fell off some of the good habits I had been establishing, so it's high time to resume. I started off feeling quite ambitious

Time to write a positive post for a change. Sometimes it's good to refocus away from the negatives. I like laughing. I like stand-up comedy. I like intelligent humor. Unsurprisingly, I like George Carlin!

Writing something down gives it the opportunity to scare you. Writing something down gives you the opportunity to etch your thoughts, anxiety and fear into this moment, the next, and the next. If you read

Today feels like two steps back after taking one step forward. However, I have to be honest with myself. I am a loser. I am in my mid-30s, unemployed, with no significant other (with no prior girlfriend),

Yesterday was quite a dark day for me when processing my family member's potential and likely diagnosis. Even though it's likely to have an excellent prognosis, we won't know with more certainty for some

Shortly after I published my post yesterday, we received a phone call from one of my family members about a potentially bad diagnosis which requires more testing. We've been working on trying to set up

The past couple of days were rather successful in terms of improving my efficiency. I implemented the little tweak in my phone settings to reduce my time on it in the morning, and as expected, everything

I don't know what kind of relationship you all have with Web 2.0 social media platforms. I'm talking about Meta (Facebook, Instagram, Threads), TikTok, YouTube, X, etc. If you still use these platforms
