The personal suck that’s been gnawing at me most lately is my lack of discipline on lots of small projects. I remember to clean the house and work on Otherspace, but I don’t keep up with practicing Japanese or drawing. I’d like to find ways of integrating those into my daily life.
I’ve thought of rewarding myself for doing these things, but I resist that because of the scale of juggling rewards for half a dozen little daily practices. I’m pretty good at doing things at certain times of the day, though that seems to have reached a practical limit. I can do a bunch of things in the morning before I go to work, but I get home at odd hours.
I don’t have an easy answer, but I’m contemplating possible solutions.
