End of Blaugust
I wrote a pretty substantial post this morning reflecting on August and talking about my goals for September and such, but Bear Blog unfortunately ate it, and I don't think I have it in me to try to write it in-depth again. So this will be kind of a short one.
I'm happy I made it through Blaugust! It was certainly challenging, and I ended up missing a few days. I mostly missed Tuesdays and Saturdays because those are the busiest for me. Tuesdays consist of work and family night, and on Saturdays I usually try to get outside and avoid the internet as much as possible.
I feel a bit burnt out, to be honest, but I did have fun, and it's nice to be able to look back on the month through my posts. I'm not sure if I'll do Blaugust again next year. We'll see how I feel when next August rolls around!
I'm going to do these in quick bullet-pointed lists this time:
August Accomplishments:
- Read a bunch of books!
- Had several microadventures (found easy, affordable, and fun things to do in and around my city)
- Won a Magic the Gathering game with a deck I built myself
- Managed to take care of some things financially
September Goals:
- Establish and stick to a workout routine (something I failed at in August)
- Establish and stick to a better morning routine (get up earlier and have time to listen to the radio and enjoy my coffee as opposed to rolling out of bed just in time to start work)
- Take care of more things financially (basically trying to reduce debt and stick to a budget)
- Have even more microadventures
