Bullet journaling is a good thing. I get an idea of what my mood is – less negative that it feels. I get an idea of what my expenses are like – I need to save more, and spend less. I have an effective way to manage my work and social calendars. I write down what song gets to be my day’s soundtrack, with the earworm that won’t leave. I make a note of the books I’ve already read. I make notes of the best parts of my D&D session. I get to practice being fancyyyyy.
I get an idea of what my priorities are. And here’s the crux of it.
The fact that I even made a habit tracker, listing what habits I do want to start, that means that they are priority for me. Which is step one. Step two comes with the evaluation of those habits. We’re still a couple days from the end of the month, but so far, I think something needs to change.
No spending is easy enough to do, once I know what I want and know how to circumvent it. Eg, with my coffeehouse reloadable gift card, and a lower amount loaded onto it, I don’t spend $210.00 on donuts anymore. Of course, that’s if the cashiers know how to use it, which they sometimes don’t. It’s a 50/50 success rate with that one.
Reading and writing are easy enough goals. I’m still on my planning phase, and I get a month between D&D sessions. So that obligation keeps me at the keyboard. Reading is also easy, with interesting books that have been on my list forever, and with new ones being added all the time.
The one thing that really falls to the wayside is bible study. It’s not that difficult once you start, and get into the groove of things. It’s just starting that seems to be the problem for me. Also the timing. I get that daily is a goal to hit with it, and it’s a good one. Ideal. But I think, right now, that may be a bit ambitious. Next month I think I’ll scale it down to a couple times a week.
My next problem to solve is the method. .^.
