Baby steps
I realize that if I want to make any significant progress. I have to start small, I have to take baby steps. Furthermore, I must not be too harsh on myself. I must cherish all victories, no matter how big or small.
Back to reading
Today I picked up a book after many, many months of not reading anything. I would like to cultivate a new habit for myself. 10 pages a day until I finish the book I'm reading. I started reading Atomic Habits by James Clear again. Earlier this year, I was half-way through, but I stopped reading. I don't remember why, but I think it was the inconsistency that lead to me losing interest in reading. Not the book itself, but reading in general. Actually, it was more likely the increased consumption of short-form content. Namely, Instagram Reels. Which, by the way, is a habit I would like to eliminate before the end of this year.
Back to being organized
The heading is a bit misleading because I never really been organized in my life. I have lived in chaos my whole life, and it caused me great suffering. So, I started using a calendar and reminders to "not forget" doing things throughout the day. It's not really about forgetting stuff, but rather task avoidance. Which, to be fair, isn't always in my control and I would like to change that. Or at least minimize it as much as I can without any medication.
Funny that at work, I don't have too much issue with doing so, but that's for another time...
Setting a healthy bedtime
This one will probably be the hardest thing for me to change. Especially since I now go to work and no longer have unlimited free time. Retrospectively, I truly regret not taking bigger advantage of it while I had it. Revenge Bedtime Procrastination is a very real thing for me, and ironically, I was doing it even before I had a job. I just don't like sleeping. Or rather, I consider it a waste of time.
Footnotes
I'm still undecided if I should make this into a "series". I have this little shortcoming about myself I need to resolve before.
