Or “This seems like a good idea; how can I stick with it and smash some order into it?”
Really, this post is a test to see if Huginn won’t cross-post this to Mastodon (which I expect it won’t) but, I figured, while I was at it, I should put some content up other than “Test”.
I’ve been trying to develop some habits to help myself out in general. Write more, nerd out more, write more about nerding out more, play more music, write about playing music, etc. but nothing sticks.
I’m getting better about documenting projects as I go. This is important in some cases like brewing for repeatability. Or, well, tech, as when I went to remove some seemingly-unnecessary containers on my unRAID server…and wound up having to start over from scratch.
But hey…now I know what access I set up in my mysql and postgres database containers, can administer them via adminer and know what containers are using which database engines with which credentials…
So…journaling and documentating the whats, whys, wheres and hows can be very useful :D
Back to the problem at hand. Developing habits around all of this.
I think I’ll start with not engaging in projects I haven’t planned - I do a lot off-the-cuff and not getting back to unfinished things in flight in a timely manner can be a thing.
So…
- Plan out daily and weekly activities
- Review daily and weekly planned activities
- Write about anything undertaken, especially if anyone - especially myself - might benefit
- Don’t engage in any unplanned activity taking a decent amount of time
- …or else?
- Profit
- …metaphysically
We’ll see how this goes.
