2/100 Days of Progress - The reason I’m not calling this a “100 days of productivity” is that I recognize that a lot of it is going to be simply pushing through, refusing to check out even when I would ordinarily tell myself I’m failing (also because the very concept of “productivity” as it’s applied in corporate america is ableist and attempts to judge effort by results--effort and results rarely match up for me as of yet!). Today had hints of a day like that. I managed routine/habit stuff, but when it came to hard-to-brain work assignments and long-procrastinated adulting tasks I ran into some serious roadblocks. I still don’t have my two biggest tasks for today (writing copy for my work’s facebook bots to pitch at people, paying off late bills) finished, and I am no longer sitting in the idyllic light of late afternoon gazing at a cactus and drinking a huge bottle of water but rather sipping strong instant coffee in the dark anticipating several more hours’ work before I sleep. But that’s ok! Tomorrow I don’t have anything urgent so if I finish this stuff I can take it slow. AND prior to the official start of my workday I managed to:

Exercise

Read a chapter of a book

Write ~400 words

Meditate

Which is more than I used to do on a GOOD day. What I’m gonna keep telling myself is I am at peace with imperfection, I have already improved a lot, I am still improving!!!!

3/100 days of progress

Today was pretty slow again, but I did some things I’d been putting off for a long time because they seemed too difficult, and even though they were mostly small things and I spent a lot of the day moving slowly and zoning out, I’m letting myself be proud of today because I:

Dealt with all my late bills

Made doctors’ appointments I was worried about making

Communicated about a work thing I was struggling with (and predictably I feel wayyyyyyy better about it now and I wish I’d spoken up sooner)

Started making preliminary plans for two Big Scary Crucial Projects (even a start is a victory there)

Talked logistics with a potential client

Budgeted for the rest of the month

Ate a really good bagel with cilantro and jalepeño pepper hummus - this isn’t really an accomplishment it was just Mad Tasty(TM)

Wrote a little tiny bit despite being emotionally drained from all of the above

Stay tuned tomorrow as I try to ACTUALLY have a day of significant goals progress lmao

#100 days of progress

2021.02.01 | 1/100 days of *progress

a quote from “Thinking Clearly About Economic Inequality” by Will Wilkinson, with whom I’m arguing in the margins (he makes some good points but they’re in support of an argument that I think I simply disagree with) ... but I really like this section, and thinking about society as a network of cooperation shipping lanes and air traffic patterns as markers of functional human collaboration and agreement on a global scale ???? really has me feeling some Emotions !

anyway, also I am starting a 100 days of *progress* journey bc @armed-with-articulation came up with this excellent alternative to the 100 days of productivity that I never could really get into—I like this version, which allows me to feel as though I’m growing and building toward something rather than simply logging days of productive work (and then shaming myself for missed days). I’m hopeful that this version of the challenge will be more sustainable for me :)

on the list for today: emails (done), a meeting, class, readings for my economic inequality class (in prog), readings + lecture vids for my history of celebrity class, and rehearsal.
