    Default Take Two: The NEW 14 day 'work/life' challenge

    This challenge will end on: November 14, 2013

    My own personal goals for this challenge will be to spend at least 10 minutes a day doing something that has NOTHING to do with work. It has to be 10 minutes of something that I would consider completely 'unproductive'. I am hoping to start small and then raise time I am doing 'unproductive' things in the future.

    How about you? What are you hoping to work on this second time around?

    10 to 30 minutes on my indoor cycle thing. I close my eyes and pretend I'm cycling by the coast or country

    I'm going to tryyyyyy to do some working out this week, and when I'm not working, play video games to drown out thoughts of working. We'll see how it goes!

    I'm going to take some time to look at the Tarot deck I got last August. I was waiting until I moved into a place, and then I was webcamming, so haven't had time to even shuffle the cards or do a reading.

    I'm going to work on taking care of me. That means providing for myself, as well as taking time out for myself. My husband and I finally split today after a very rough night and emotionally draining four years. I need to get my shit in gear. I have a lot to focus on, and do, and think about. Bring it

    This is not really a 14-day-only thing but something I hope to implement for good–having a weekend. I was trying to only take one day off a week–maybe–and everything just sort of piled up to the point that I woke up Sat morning and said NOPE.

    It felt SUPER weird, though, and I kept bargaining with myself–OK, log on just a couple hours and that's it–but once I got over that notion it felt really good to just bum around in PJs, no makeup and flat hair. It's like, me again!

    I had a proper two days off, my laundry is done, my kitties are cared for, and even though I worked on clips I really didn't think about camming and I feel like I can face free chat tomorrow with a fresh attitude.

    So today I was twisting my brain around to come up with the least productive thing that I could do that didn't have anything to do with work.

    Finally, it came to me.

    I went to the dollar store, bought crayons and a colouring book and coloured for 10 minutes. Can't get more unproductive than that! LOL!

    I think I'll commit myself to finishing some of the knitting projects that I either have already started or have been dying to start, while watching one of the series' I've DVRed. Setting 1 hour aside a day, 5 days a week for two weeks seems reasonable. They're all just wrist warmers and loom-knit hat projects, so that should be more than enough to get them out of the way.

    Did something today that I haven't done in a long time.

    I played the piano.

    I stopped playing when it became more than apparent that the role of music prodigy was one that would always be held by my sibling and not me. Try as I might I just couldn't never get it down as well as what everyone expected from me. It was true the genetics were there. I did have the marker for musical talent but my best was just never enough.

    It felt so odd to sit in front of a keyboard again. Some part of me down deep still seems to remember how to play certain songs but everything else important such as technique and timing has been lost with the passing of years.

    Today I took a nap. It was wonderful. And it wasn't a voyeur nap on my couch. In my bed cuddling with my dog.

    Ugh, well I am sucking at this again.

    Yesterday I *thought* about work/life balance. Ran out of time before I could do anything for myself though. :/

    I slept in today because I went to bed at 3 am. I needed to catch up on my sleep. Not making myself feel guilty.

    I gave myself permission to 'give up' today.

    There is a shortage of drugs I am currently on that keep me cognitively aware of what is going on around me. No one seems to know why the drug is no where to be found in the part of Canada I am in. At least 100 other people that I know of are now having to go without the drug they need for daily functioning. It isn't just me.

    I only have enough to take 1/4 of the dose I need to be taking for the next couple of months. Despite my best efforts Streamate just wasn't working for me today.

    I left with 3/4 of my daily goal left unmet, took of my makeup and had a long hot bath. Usually I would fight on to the end of the day, but instead I waved the white flag instead.

    Tomorrow is another day to try and deal with the fucked catastrophe that is my life. Tonight I don't care.

    JAC I'm sorry to hear about the situation with your medication. Hopefully there will be a resolution sooner rather than later. *hugs*

    I worked out, for 45 minutes body weight and cardio. I got sweaty and my muscles were burning and I didn't think about work once.

    I am liking this crafty/artsy thing. I forgot how relaxing it could be to see a physical object come to life that you've created with your own two hands.

    I've decided that the only way I'll ever get this self-care thing under control is if I start having time goals for work instead of money goals.

    At least if I have a time goal I will be able to let it go at the end of my shift instead of torturing myself for the rest of the day if I don't make my money goal.

    I need to make sure that I have more than just the 'camming' egg in my basket or I'll never have a life at this rate.

    Well, I'm not sure if this is really a 10ish minute a day thing or not lol...but I want to get back to drawing more. I have a mural I'm drawing for my bedroom and it's nowhere near done. I have a lot a characters left to add to cover the whole room. But it'll be so worth it when it's done And even though it is my normal camming backdrop, this is more for my husband and myself because I started on it about two years ago and just haven't picked it back up. There's part of it below and I might need some encouragement to get off my ass and actually do this lol.
