August days of productivity: 05.08 - 10.08

60-hours of work in last week and in that, two days with 12-hour night shift. Not an ideal time to be productive but I at least I'm on top of my Anki cards game since it's one of the few things that's easy to do at work.

Besides that, now I finally have some days free (one of which I already spend cleaning an apartment because that was such a mess, like I swear the sink in the kitchen started to be radioactive) and so now I'm planning on catching up with my writing and maybe focus on eating a little bit better (I also downloaded Frankenstein by Mary Shelley bc i definitely want to read more classics).

August days of productivity: 01.08 - 04.08

Started working on some beginner friendly figma projects, did some japanese lessons and actually socialized a healthy amount (which is rare for me). Also made a nice plan for what do to during August and finished some overdue tasks.

I do feel a little bit down because for the past few days I was writing a lot on iPad (instead of laptop) and I guess my brain did not realized that onlyoffice is a normal program where stuff has to be saved because it doesn't work like the notion app (that I used before for writing on iPad) and nothing is automatically saved. Really, really dumb of me. Lost several hours of writing because of that. And I seriously liked the scenes that I wrote there.,

Little update ~

Had bday, went to another city to meet with some friends, tried a bunch of new bars and restaurants and overall had a quite perfect summer.

But in terms of learning and trying to be better - I'm starting an august productivity challenge! I need some motivation to finish making a portfolio to change jobs and get stuff done.

Goals:

Make UX design portfolio

Finish writing 25k of my story

Finish reading book about astrophysics

Make an appointment with psychiatrist

Finish the exercises you printed from genki textbook

By popular demand, I present you all with an August Days of Productivity challenge. As always, it is modelled after @learnelle's April challenge. I also organised one in June.

The guidelines are as follows:

Compile your August goals into one post and mark each item as desired upon completion. You may be as vague or detailed as you wish. It only needs to serve yourself.

Tag all relevant posts with #august days of productivity, that way we can more easily support each other and make this feel like a community challenge.

Starting 1st August, do one thing every day, however small, to bring yourself closer to your goals.

Regular updates are encouraged, whether they be daily, weekly, or just every so often, but what really matters is accomplishing the things we set out to do.

Enjoy the journey: you cannot "fail" as long as you are having fun!

On 31st August, we can reflect on the past month and congratulate ourselves for our dedication.

Additionally, I challenge each and every participant to actively contribute towards the community feeling by interacting with each other, beyond just leaving a like. Reblog, comment, congratulate, encourage. We are all busy and tired and stressed, and a kind word goes such a long way!

Reblog to participate.

Bucket list #1 Eat creme brulee

Do you ever wanted to try something for a really long time, and when you finally did it, it was even better that you thought it will be?

So amazing, I'll definitely be ordering it again anytime I'll be in that restaurant, and also that was such a cool morning, I went there for breakfast with my boyfriend it was like a perfect summer day with great food and a great vibe.

Also my bf was making a painting of me there and apparently I looked very excited when they brought me my food lol.

This absolutely made my evening! And trying caviar and fancy tinned fish sound so so fun (and the other ones!), I only even had a really cheap caviar and would bet that trying the good one would be such a fun experience AND I keep seeing on Pinterest and sometimes in bigger shops these pretty funky tins with some fishes in the prettiest tins and I just want to take them home and put on a shelf as a decoration bc damn they look incredible sometimes! Wonder if that taste good too... Anyway GOOD LUCK and japanese curry is amazing ~ 🧡

Bucket list #62 - Vitamin gummies

Vitamin gummies yayy! Is that silly? Yes. Do I care? Not really.

But on another note, I'm really having a great time writing lately. It's a little bit like reading a really fun fanfiction except the author is indecisive, takes forever to write and I have to tear every sentence from them by force. But it's fun!

[nostalgic-orange-juice]

I need everyone to know that I'm bleaching my hair right now

[nostalgic-orange-juice]

Bucket list #55 - Have a Kånken backpack

I feel like I'm living my high school dream! The backpack is AMAZING, the summer is almost here and I changed the location of place I work at and now I'm just few steps away from library and can just visit after or before my shift!

I'm also trying to go back to things I enjoyed before I got consumed by uni and I'm honestly surprised by just how much joy they can still bring me. Looks like the summer will be time for painting, poetry and classical music. And long walks since the parks at this city are so pretty!

P.S I'm gonna post more often, I miss writing here everyday 🍀

Bucket list #58 - Eat frozen yogurt

Oh my god, it was so perfect, the best yogurt I ever ate. No idea it would be so light and creamy and fresh. And if not for this challenge, I don't think I would ever eat it, because I don't even like yoghurt. How on earth was it so tasty? A mystery.

But I also realized that there is another reason I'm glad that I have this challenge - because I feel like I'm more aware of achieving the things I want, and I can appreciate it more.

Because a couple of days ago I was scrolling through one of my boards on Pinterest, and I was confused because there were pictures of similar haircuts to the one I have right now and some photos of apartments that looked suspiciously like the one I'm living in right now. And it took me a while to remember that I made that board a long time ago with things that I wanted or planned. And somehow I didn't even realize, while signing the lease for an apartment or while cutting my hair, that I'm pushing my life in the direction I want it to go.

But now I know that this frozen yoghurt is indeed special, and I should treat it like it (and seriously it was so tasty, I'm obsessed).

Bucket list #82 - Make hwachae

Decided to make hwachae on New Year’s Eve - the room was such a mess that I chose to just add a photo from before, lol. The hwachae was technically good but... The texture of carbonated milk (sprite + strawberry milk + fruits) was just not something that I could enjoy. Too weird, and it makes you wonder if it's even something your stomach would accept lmao.

NaNoWriMo was on hold for a moment (I got to around 40k, but then I was laid off from my job and had to find a new one, so I was a little busy). But I should have a bit more time now, so I’ll try to finish it in January. Not exactly what I wanted but compromises are sometimes unavoidable.

And Happy New Year, everyone!

[nostalgic-orange-juice]

Bucket list #18 - NaNoWrimo: Week Two

Watching movies? Reading books? YouTube? I don't know them because whenever I'm not at work, I'm writing. I'm switching between my laptop at home, and notion app on phone when I'm on the bus (I'm wondering about the obsidian app too).

I'm not sure how many words I've written so far, but with spending so much time on typing, I'm in desperate need of some new playlists - please recommend ANYTHING.

Bucket list #18 - NaNoWrimo: Week One

It's November and November means Nanowrimo - I am trying my best to write as much as I can. I did move to a new apartment some days ago, and now I don't have to spend 2 hours on a train to work! AND I am waking at 5 AM every day to steal some more time for writing. Right now I'm somewhere around 10k words, so a little bit behind from where I should be - but honestly, I am having so much fun. It's definitely a challenge though.

[nostalgic-orange-juice]

Bucket list #75 - Eat Ramen

I LOVED IT. To give you some context - the day was so cold and windy that I felt like I was in the middle of winter, not autumn. My throat hurt, and I had a tiny cold, and I waited in line for the restaurant for like 20 minutes, but that just made it so much better.

I mean, cold weather and then warm soup? It's one of the best feelings in the world. It's exactly what I'm going to order next time I’m sick. (And after, I went to a pretty café with some books in, I think, Russian? I'm not sure...) But it was a great day - I really needed it.
