Hobbies Mk.II

Salut! Je ne peux pas croire que ça fait un mois depuis j’ai fait un post....

Well, August was an okay month. I did come up with some goals for stuff I'm working on and though I didn't complete them all for the month, keeping track of it actually let me see that I have made some progress. I used to keep a bullet journal and do daily habit tracking, but I stopped using it a few years ago and while I don't think I want to pick it back up just yet, figuring out monthly goals and noting them down in my journal is just as useful.

First I sorted my hobbies into broad categories and came up with several: Instruments, Art, Reading, Writing, Gaming, Coding, and Language. Seven categories with multiple items inside (especially in Writing, I sorted a lot of things into it lol) is, uh, most likely a lot to try to do at once. In my quest to corral my hobbies into something manageable I read the advice that it's best to have 4-6 core hobbies that are worked on everyday. Even whittling it down I still don't think I could work on everything every day. So, I chose a few things from each category that I want to work on and came up with goals for them. Of course, gaming doesn't really have a goal, but I thought I'd keep a list of games that I'm currently playing—perhaps to remind myself to play those instead of searching for something new lol.
