I thought I’d use Wednesdays as a brief check-in to update what I’m doing. Anyone else remember that blog trend of “Currently (reading, watching, making, etc.)”?
Feeling
My whole routine is upended right now and it’s kind of cool to be getting to know my body like a whole new being right now but also….a smidge inconvenient that everything is unpredictable.
Thinking About
How I can get better about sticking to my prescribed schedule instead of defaulting to my hyper-focus burnout mode. Anyone have tips?
Plotting
My new BuJo! It arrived, and so did a bunch of my Stickii goodies and I’m setting aside time each evening to tinker with it.
Working On
Letters- I had a breakthrough in my penmanship and grip on my fountain pens, so it’s gradually becoming less painful to write multiple pages. I’m inspired by the amazing letters other characters are sending Sophrona:

Reading
Watching
So, I know it isn't the same, but back when I was trying to be more reasonable about blogging, I set a strict time limit in which I HAD to get up and go to bed. (I used to stay up til like, 4 or 5am blogging because I thought I "had" to. I was wrong.) Now I usually make my way to my bed by 10 or 1030, because my body is like, used to it hah. I don't go to sleep or anything, but I read and then watch a show. Basically, I trained myself into a new, slightly less absurd schedule? Oh I had to make a TikTok to enter a giveaway, I will follow you- but I will never, ever use it bwhaha. Also writing letters is very cool!
This is gonna sound so basic, but how did you force yourself to stick to that time limit? That's where I'm faltering- I haven't tried setting an alarm to stop doing a thing, but I have calendar reminders to not do anything for longer than 2 hours, and then I get into it and the next thing I know, 4-5 hours have gone by and I'm exhausted. 🙁
Yay- welcome to TikTok! 😀 I'm not as active as I used to be, but I'm happy you're on the app. And don't worry- plenty of people consume content there without producing any. I'm super curious what giveaway made you make a TikTok to enter, though….that's a lot of work!
