Zip It Up
In a season of getting it tight to get some long term goals checked off the list.
Cracking down for a month with habit tracking, bullet journaling, and getting a shit ton of physical activity & mental stimulation.

There are so many different ways to stay focused, and get things done. The more of a scrambled salad we receive of time, efficiency, productivity, and overall will power to get things done. We take a couple steps back and wonder, what are we actually working for? We are in a system where we wonder if this will be here in a few more years, or a few more decades. The 5 year plan has gotten wonky. Energy levels are all over the place. People who were motivated and had drive three years ago, can barely get out of bed, and the anxiety driven characters who had a hard time accomplishing anything- have found there self in a new rhythm of getting shit done in this new found dystopia.

For the month of August, I have felt for a while that this energy was going to be a handful to get through. I created a habit tracker of sorts, and I have been following it for the past 4 days. It is really intense, and is really stretching me as a person, and not leaving me with a ton of social battery. However, very interesting things have been happing in this period of “zipping it up”. This is in way a long term sustainable situation for me, however it isn’t supposed to be that sustainable.
Things I am tracking daily:
screen time
pilates
walk 10k steps
no porn
cash spent/ earned
wrote a blog
read 50 pages
do a time study
Not sustainable, and honestly not always enjoyable. So far the parts I am liking the most are the reading, writing, no porn, and step count. It is really limiting the amount of time I have for socializing. I am not doing great with the screen time. I feel like I am pretty physically tired from all of the physical energy, so I am catching myself in the scroll. Ideally, I wanted my daily screen time to be 30 minutes, but that just isn’t going to happen. I feel like this experiment will change a lot within the next few weeks, so we shall see what will come of it.
