I decided to go for a walk. Because of course I did. I felt fine, muscles stopped aching and so on, at least until I came back home.
Anyhow I was thinking because I got so sad and frustrated due to it being already dark. I'm not used to 8 PM being dark. And it will get worse. That got me thinking about rough timeline for the coming months and as these plans kinda work around LTU I thought I'd post them here, both for feedback and future reference. One note - I will equate months with LTU stages, so right now I'm in September = Stage 2. Obviously this will make things a couple of days off, but it's not important. It's all back of the envelope calculations anyway.
Historically October and November were the worst months for me. It's not that the days are short, it's that they are getting shorter. December is easier as days are no longer getting noticeably shorter and one gets used to little sunlight. As Stage 2 seems to be the tough one and Stage 3 is October I don't presume things will be moving smoothly for the next weeks. I'll try to focus on work as much as possible - it should keep me sane and it's a good source of accomplishment.
November, while tough, is better, depending really on October's weather. October always reminds me of rain, November not so much, so bad weather October will make November easier while nice October will make November still part of a transition and as such pain in the butt. Anyhow, with stage 4 I'd expect things to go better, maybe starting some projects of mine?
December is when the days are shortest but it's also time when one already feels Christmas. Last Christmas was terrible as that were the first festivities without my dad but now I hope it'll be better. So there is something to look forward to. Also it's a great time to do summaries of the past year and make plans for the next. I'm not sure how Stage 5 will fit into this, but last year it worked well for me.
January... The coldest month but also time of hope. Days are finally getting longer, it won't get any colder and you come will all the plans and resolutions. If I were to run LTU 5 I'd use it to do these resolutions, but my relationship with LTU 6 is less cordial so I don't know if I'll be able to jumpstart anything with it. At any rate I'd expect a lot of progress till that time and maybe I'll have more ideas.
And then February, March... Right now I'd day I'll probably be running LTU 6 refresher after Stage 6 but it's way too early to say. I remember AM6 refresher as one of my favorite subs ever, so there is a nice precedence. Bit maybe I'll rerun LTU 6 or do DMSI or whatever. I guess it will all depend on my priorities at that moment.
I just wanna to say, with my return to normal working schedule this, here, today, it's like the end of an era. If I were to write a autobiography I'd call it the COVID chapter or whatever. And while COVID is still here and will be here, kind of opportunity it gave me was unique. I didn't waste these months and I sure hope I won't waste the coming ones. It feels like this Autumn and Winter will be another era with new set of challenges coming in Spring (finishing weight loss with 5 out of 25kg left, maybe starting dating again).
Whatever happens I'll be ready. Bring it on!
