i used to use a coding algorithm i made to track progress on some interests i have… im moving to google sheets for ease of use. these are some stuff i plan on tracking. i made this at work so im really starting on Thursday…

ive decided to start studying Japanese again… i enjoy doing it and i have a textbook and some notes (maybe 100pgs or so i can review) of basic grammar and stuff. my main goal is to at least finish the textbook i bought… im not really worried about setting a time restraint but more about actually going over it consistently. its fun learning that language i think…

for reading 100pgs a week is fine… its more consistency. im also open to changing/updating these things maybe every week. admittedly this week doesnt really count…

for writing id like to have 3 legit sessions where i sit down and work for a while. the script i want to do is too long of a project to just let it sit around. i have some fairly large ambitions for this script. if it turns out the way it will in my head (which is possible, as my writing ability is good enough after 10 years to be able to thankfully pull off such a difficult thing if i give it enough time), this will be a very, very good piece of writing…

music 3 recording sessions. its more of a passive hobby. i enjoy making music and still have a goal of releasing an ep of 6 songs at some point. but i want to focus a bit more on writing again. plus after i make the 6 songs and put them out, i almost definitely just want to explore DAW’s in music so i wont be making a song for a while (maybe a year).

2 movies a week is good. time is rough… id rather watch something i really want to watch. im excited to finish heavens story later this week.

1 album a week is good too. not too interested in exploring new music. i know what i like.

gaming 8 hours a week. i mainly do this for fun. i also really really want to play persona 5

i have sooo many animes i want to watch. so 12 episodes is good.

the gym 2-3 sessions a week is fine. i was going to the gym nearly every day. im cutting it to focus on other hobbies.

i decided to map this out as some changes for my life will be happening soon. im starting school again in Janurary. Plus i am applying for jobs again and i wont stop until i get one, so im expecting to have a 9-5 routine fairly soon. if i dont do the things i am passionate about i crumble. i at least need some sort of dose of these things. it seems superfluous to map out such things, but i mainly do it as i am fairly goal oriented. also, my primary goal is to complete confessions of a mask as a screenplay, and all the other hobbies and things i do allow me to get good breaks and think about other things besides writing. if im allowed, i would think about writing literally all day… i need things to keep me busy.

i do believe that the biggest part of writing is not writing. time needs to pass so the subconscious sits in a steady place. where the ideas develop and in a sense “grow” in the egg of the brain. ive had many, many ideas for confessions of a mask now that i have 100 pages of ideas on a google doc. now i can think of nothing but writing… so yeah, having other things to do is important for me. i see many of my interests as literal extensions of who i am that i have to tend to. like muscles that have to be stretched periodically. and muscles that are strong at one point can be put to rest for a while, as others that have been dormant should then be put to work.

i like thinking this way but its not for everybody… thats why i prefer just blogging about it or keeping it to myself.

Though as a p.s., i am highly against the uber produtive aestheic seen on the web nowadays. i dont align myself with that at all. their outlook is more about a way of being perceived, where mine is more about internal satisfaction…
