I honestly feel I wouldn't have achieved nearly so much if I hadn't been using this planner - and I wouldn't have bounced back and continued using the planner when I had sick/mental health days if I didn't have the innocuous but still-present knowledge that I would have to post my planner photo at the end of the week.
Of course it's only working because I still hold myself to that habit of posting the photo. But I've built a system around my strengths and weaknesses. Tweeting? Oh yeah, I can do that. No one on Twitter is holding me to this schedule, but it's enough.
I'm sure I'm repeating myself constantly in this blog, but that's the great thing about it. It's not made to entertain other people. It's all about reinforcing my good habits and good ideas. And exploring those through every possible permutation I can is really good for solidifying those habits and ideas. Along with clarifying to myself how I feel about them, what works, and what doesn't.
Finally recovering from the flu, although I've torn an intercostal muscle from all my coughing - for most of the week below the muscle just continually hurt, now it only hurts if I engage the muscle by coughing, sneezing, hiccuping, laughing or uh... moving. Hey. It's improvement, and I'm happy with that.
Wore mascara to a client meeting yesterday and within an hour it had started to melt. I don't wear makeup often but this was a pricey one... is there such a thing as a mascara that can survive our spring weather? If it can't handle 25C I shudder to think how it would be when it hits 40C. Anyway, glad it was bright enough I could leave my sunglasses on rather than displaying panda eyes... next time I might just skip the mascara entirely. It's just, I want to appear as professional as possible, but... panda eyes definitely isn't going to do that, so I might be better off wearing foundation and nothing else. Though foundation starts to melt fast too. Sob.
Anyway. I'm back to doing my freelance work now that I'm well enough to handle it. And spring might be bringing makeup-melting powers but it's also bringing welcome sunlight and killing off any remaining things that might want to attack my immune system... so I welcome it with open arms.
☑ weekly planner accountability check-in! I was still sick that week so it was a quiet one, but I'm recovering now! pic.twitter.com/koG6bPIVUK— sassa @ davesprite literature club (@AWildSassaApprs) September 11, 2019
