ROW80 – 2023 – Round 3 – Check-in 2-4 (July, 30th 2023)

Hi everyone! 

Note: To keep posts short, I’ve made a Trello board with my goals for the year. Feel free to check it out if you want to know more about the bigger plan.

My word for the week is LATE.

I’ve missed 2 check-ins and the redirect issues I have with the site are not helping.

I’m also late on my goals, but that’s OK. I’ve realized it’s because I’m spending more time on what really matters and I don’t need to keep myself busy as much as I used to.

So I’ll drop a few goals that are just not happening, and adjust others. That’s definitely not how I expected July to go but I’m actually glad I was able to listen to myself and just focus my energy where it was really needed.

No writing per se but a lot of plotting, which makes sense as I’m making my way through the saga and of course there’s still much to think about.

I’ll try and check in weekly over the rest of the summer but only if there’s been actual progress. And since another side goal is to really take it easy during the break, it might mean skipping a few posts.

So as far as August is concerned, a shorter set of goals, including the continuation of some I’ve already been working on seems only right. ^^

No writing per se but a lot of plotting, which makes sense as I’m making my way through the saga and of course there’s still much to think about.
