14012018| I finally completed my card for the meditation. The x-effect is a method I got off Reddit and helps you create a habit. Since my habit isn’t fully formed I will continue to monitor my progress on a tracking app. But I’m going to make a new card for studying or reading everyday I haven’t decided yet haha

I realized after Friedback that I had been slacking off on actually doing things on the daily. I have had my head focused on so many other things, so I decided to make this class a bigger priority again. In order to get into this mindset of embracing creativity daily, and having accountability buddies, a few friends from my MMG (Turner, Lauren, and I) have started a "Creatives Anonymous" group or CA for short because this accountability idea reminded me of AA meetings. 

I decided to do the X-effect. My goal has been to practice at least one creative or professional thing each day to keep testing myself as well as advancing myself. Small things add up over time. Accountability buddies really help with reminders. As examples of some of my daily tasks, they have been to do at least one heuristic per a day. Another day I focused on continuing to develop my failure log. Another day I very intentionally asked my friends deeper questions to see what the outcome would be. 

My biggest learning so far is that I tend to stress myself out by taking on too much (I know, this is a revolutionary concept) so started and have continued to say no everyday to at least one thing and my group has been holding me more accountable than I would naturally hold myself. This is not to say that it works perfectly, because it is far from it but it definitely helps with this process of thinking about it more frequently and getting reminders from friends.
