Routine Reset: Day 1/60

14th March 2024

Here it is: the current productivity tag! On a two-month break from school and buckling down on my wellness and routines. I’m focusing on a handful of priorities:

physical wellness— locking down my sleep schedule, consistent hydration, exercising regularly, eating healthy

mental wellness— med consistency, journaling, meditation, reducing screen time (particularly with recreational reading!)

routines— morning and evening routines, study routines (trying to Pavlov myself into a scholarly headspace)

productivity— simplifying/solidifying my planning and task management practices, researching study tools/resources, instituting time tracking

life management— tightening up my finances just a little (moving right after Christmas/boyfriend’s birthday/anniversary season really left a girl strapped), firming up an errand/chore schedule, closet clean out/declutter

Basically just like. Getting my life all the way together, so that by the time school starts I am absolutely maximizing my available energy. I’m genuinely excited to be a student again, but I also started college almost 17 years ago and I just. Want to be done lol. So I’m clearing the path as much as possible before I embark.

So all of that said, here’s what I did today!

did a load of laundry

watched my Tar Heels knock Florida State out of the ACC Tournament (have I mentioned that March basketball is my favorite part of the entire year?) and ran out for coffee at halftime

trimmed my cat’s nails

emailed my admissions coach confirming next steps for summer enrollment

talked to a very nice lady at public works about my garbage can disappearing with the bags today, got that sorted out, and set up recycling in the process!

journaled

finally picked a book from a to-read pile that has only grown for the last 3+ years (starting with Another Day’s Begun, a book that profiles a number of productions of my favorite play of all time, Thornton Wilder’s Our Town)

And with that, I’m off to shower and bed!

update: the saga continues

[nourbader2019]

Please stop for a moment

Hello

I am Nour, a Palestinian girl from Gaza. I am 5 years old. We were displaced from our home after the occupation bombed. We were displaced to southern Gaza. I, my father, my mother, and my grandmother, who also lives with us.

And the three sisters: Bana, Dana and Menna

I saw the ravages of death on the way to the south, where I had to walk long distances on my feet .....

After arriving in southern Gaza, we saw all forms of suffering. After living in a tent for 8 months, we do not have any necessities for life. My sisters and I suffer from illness and weight loss due to malnutrition and lack of it. There is no source of livelihood for my father, who lost his job there in Gaza.

Sometimes words cannot describe what happens

We need your help and support to provide a better life for me and my family

Who suffers from all aspects of life

Please help me share

are you normal, or are you trying to watch tennis, archery, rugby, fencing, kayaking, skateboarding, basketball, gymnastics, and swimming at the same time?

(Waking up with the anxiety gags again sucks, but) there is really not much in the world that gets me as excited as watching the Tar Heels in March. RJ Davis, the absolute WEAPON that you are 😤

men being stronger or faster physically is not a skill, it's an advantage. advantages do not determine how skilled of an athlete you are. most people who talk shit about women's sports can't grasp this.

95% of all sports is just putting a ball in a place

[wildaboutmnhockey]

I am BEGGING professional sports to consolidate their games into one convienent place to watch.

I do not want to get Amazon Prime for Monday games and then TNT for a Wednesday. Ope now it's Friday so let's head over to ESPN. BUT NOW it's the 3rd Thursday of the month and it rained on the 8th of the month so this broadcast will be on CSPAN instead of Cartoon Network with a special rebroadcast on Disney Channel with the game being played by the cast of Avatar: The Last Airbender.

It's legit insanity and this is the exact reason I will continue to sail the seven seas. Get fucked.
