Reflection: Week 4

I didn't do it. I didn't accomplish all of my categories this week. I had two different ideas about creativity, but when all was said and done, I really didn't do anything creative!

I am a little sad about that. Moreso, because I just see more and more things being left out of this. However, the spirit of this was to copy Benjamin Franklin, who didn't use this as a checklist, but as a monitor. If I think of it, like that I may be able to be ok if I am unable to meat one of my criteria!!

I really do like that I am doing this! It seems like most of my free time since I have begun this chart has been purposeful. When I have some free time, I first think of my chart and how I can make it work! I have been watching TV less(not having cable helps!), and have been mindlessly using the computer less! I have been enriching myself more, building more community and really calming myself down!! I am a little concerned, as school starts building momentum, I'll be able to do these types of activities less and less, especially the nature one, as the weather gets worse, but I really want to keep this up! I am the happiest I have been in a long time and I want to continue!

  1. I wish I had time to do all of this!! I feel like I constantly work. I think you should do what someone told me once, make more reachable goals. Trying to do everything on the list every week is a lot. Make it a point to do 5 a week and to always do at least 1-2 new topics each week. This will still get you to accomplish things and also not make you feel bad if you miss out on something.
    I wish you were coming to NYC this fall!! Hopefully I'll get to see you soon though! Miss you!!

  2. Totally agreed, and I think I am trying that more. Because the cooking, movie, physical and reading one I can kinda fit into and around other things, I think I'll keep those pretty consistent. Also dress up I like, to keep me caring about my looks on a weekly basis. But creativity, nature and cultural, might need to continue switching off, and not all being in the same week.

    Super sad not coming to NYC. There's a chance for christmas break, but I might also go to Mexico?

    Hope you got my video text of Hey Delila!
