Day 21,
I can feel myself removing the obstacles that would be keeping me from sprinting toward my goals.
For example, I'm standing at point A; I see point B. Instead of thinking about it too much, I launch myself toward it. Why not?
If I don't do it, I'll be stuck at point A.
I'm becoming very organized about my goals, my motivations, my promises to others, my projects (active or pending).
I spent the weekend laying out a plan to learn Google Sheets (the Google version of Excel), going through the videos, and now I'm able to automate - add and update - rows into a table based on an input form. It has validation and error handling.
Also, I've cut out a bad habit that's grown over the last few months. I had been playing this zombie game called 7 Days to Die, which is an open-ended open-world game with no endstate. I've have a couple of buddies who jump on and I have fun while doing it. Only problem is, the last 2 weeks, my Steam statistics tell me that I've put in 22 hours (11 hrs/week), and that's me thinking that I'm playing light amounts.
What if I had put 11 hours a week into my Google Sheets project (which requires lots of time and focus)? Or my singing practice.
I can simply reclaim those 11 hours if I don't throw them down the drain.
My main friend is very understanding about my quitting the game. The other friend stopped playing, so there was no issue.
