I don't do enough of the things I do care about. Or I have too many things I care about. Maybe it’s not about doing more, the to-do lists, the dissatisfaction.
One thing that actually means something. One thing that, at the end of the day, I can look at and think, Yeah, that was worth it.
And maybe that one thing for another day is nothing.

I worry about wasted time. Adventures, meaningful weeks, good memories, take so much effort and I often don’t have that drive. I graduated a few months ago, did nothing to celebrate, done nothing since, just slept and dove into new responsibilities. Milestones have gone by with fizzles rather than bangs. A life worth living is a life that needs making, effort, time, intention, I just need to want that

I’ve been thinking about this a lot regarding my plan to purge/organize my home, because the way I used to do projects like this just doesn’t work anymore. I can no longer wait until I have the energy, then do as much as I can in one go. I do not have the gift of uninterrupted time anymore. Instead, I’ve had to adjust to a more slow and steady way of working. I choose *one* space to work on each day. Often times it ends up being one drawer, or corner, or step in the process.
Logically this is great and the best way to meet my goals. Mentally/emotionally I kid of hate it because it’s not how I’ve worked for my entire life. I have big ideas and want to do them right now!!!! But, when is growth or change ever without a bit of uncomfortability or pain?
So, I am actively changing my mindset. I speak positively to myself about the one small thing I did that day. I share that one small thing with my husband and friends. Because in actuality if it was so easy for me to do, I would’ve done it before. So my effort deserves some recognition!! Positive reinforcement, even when it’s to our own selves, can carry us a long way 🫶

my mindset really shifted when I became a mother, but I think this can apply to anyone. Every minute I spend doing something is time I take away from connecting with them, so that thing better be important or enjoyable for me. Sometimes we have to do things we don’t want to do, but if I have the choice I really only spend time on what is important or pleasurable. Why waste time in the one life that I have forcing myself to consume something that I am not enjoying, for some arbitrary standard I set up in my own head? Let it go, move on, make the space for a book I actually will like!

Python!
Honestly very hard for me to get into - I have ZERO coding knowledge and nothing I could really latch onto - knowledge transfer is how I learn. But https://futurecoder.io/ is great (after lots of Redditing)

The puffin is the latest addition to more than 180 known species—many of them sharks, corals, and other marine animals—that emit a luminous glow.
The fact that so many marine animals biofluoresce "tells us organisms are using light in ways we don't even see," John Sparks, curator of fishes at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City.

I read that happiness is when your expectations falls below the reality. A new mind project for April. Good prognosis.
