So, back in 2022, there was a small discussion about doing challenges. Maybe weekly challenges. I don't have a feel for what that might be, but for now, the challenge is:

Make a post!

Tell us something you are working on, something you've achieved, and maybe something that would help you with achieving things.

I posted my goals for 2025.

As part of this, I make New Year's check-in posts through January. You can see the posts from January 4 and January 10. These have conversation prompts, lists of tips for completing goals, and a tally of my goals completed or at least begun. I find that this helps me make good progress, at least on the batch of goals intended to be done early in the year. A lot of mine can't be completed until later.

I posted a review of my goals for 2022. Out of 41 goals and one blank, I met 38 plus two extra fill in the blanks.

I haven't put one up in a while. For what remains of this year I want to:

1. Complete more prompts on my bingo tables
2. Work on my

smallfandombang story and get at least 5k written
3. Watch some silly Hallmark style Christmas movies :D

I managed to complete everything on my previous TO DO list :) New List:

1. trope_bingo - complete by Oct 31st. I have 10 prompts left for a blackout! - I did it!
2. Fill a few more prompts on other bingo cards: hc_bingo, 10prompts, crossoverbingo, tic_tac_woe, 100fandoms - got a blackout for my

hc_bingo and filled some more prompts on other cards:)
3. ~~Landcomms - keep up with the landcomm challenges~~ - not a total success as I had no time/energy to complete one challenge this week so missed the deadline.

tarlanx

I cannot believe how quickly this month has gone by!

What I accomplished:
1.

fandomgiftbasket - I have dropped a gift into 15 baskets (5 fic | 10 graphics) and may do a few more closer to reveal date in September. There is a SPREADSHEET if anyone wants to take a look and drop a gift!
2.

allbingo - I have completed this card but some of the prompts are unrevealed stories. I'm over halfway through

100fandoms and

hc_bingo R13, and made a healthy start on

trope_bingo R19
3.

eventcentral has just gone live!
4.

crossworks - completed my assignment and a pinch hit
5.

auexchange - completed my assignment and made one treat

My priorities now are:

~~1. Finish writing my Old Guard Big Bang 2022 story~~
~~2. Fill at least one more prompt off my bingo cards~~
3. Finish reading stories in The Old Guard Reverse Bang 2022 and post any RECS to recthething
4. Keep up with the landcomm challenges! lands_of_magic and landsofart

So it's the end of July 2022 already! I have two outstanding items from my last list so those go first today. Let's see how I manage over the next two weeks :)

1. Finish writing my Old Guard Big Bang 2022 story
2. Take a look at fandomgiftbasket - I've made a list of any I can (possibly) drop a gift into
3. ~~Fill at least one prompt on one of my many bingo cards~~ - I'm now at 51/100 for

100_fandoms
4. ~~Start reading stories posted for The Old Guard Reverse Bang 2022~~ - I made a start and also made some RECS to

recthething

I managed to do all but one of the items on my last list, so that is now on the number 1 spot! Last week was a bit of a disaster as I had too many non-fandom related things to do. This is my TO DO list for the remainder of this month.

1. Finish writing my Old Guard Big Bang 2022 story
2. ~~Complete at least one more smallfandomfest prompt - I have three prompts outstanding~~ - I managed to write SIX stories in total for the fest :)
3. ~~Fill at least one prompt on one of my many bingo cards~~ - completed several prompts :)
4. ~~Complete the final outstanding challenge for lands_of_magic (by July 22nd)~~ - I didn't go for maximum points as there was too much to do but I'm happy with what I achieved :)
5. Take a look at

fandomgiftbasket to see if there are any I can drop a gift into.

Wish me luck!

I had only one thing remaining on my last list and I am determined to cross it off this time.

1. ~~Fill at least one empty album on my website galleries~~ - finally! I do hope to do more but it's a time consuming task.
2. ~~Fill at least one fiction prompt on one of my bingo cards~~
3. Finish writing my Old Guard Big Bang 2022 story
4. ~~Complete a lands_of_magic challenge~~ - completed challenge 9.15

4. ~~Meet any upcoming deadlines for lands_of_magic challenges~~ - done!
5. ~~Take yet another TV series off my horrendous TO WATCH list~~ - watched Our Flag Means Death
6. ~~Fill some prompts on my outstanding bingo tables~~ - completed some fills but some will have to wait until the story is revealed.
7. Fill more of the empty albums on my website galleries - came close but nothing done this week

Found a nearly perfect habit tracker app! Loop Habit Tracker.

Pros:
- Minimalistic, elegant and user-friendly interface. Includes dark mode.
- Nice statistic screens.
- Not only daily tasks, but once in N days, N times a week or a month.
- 2 kinds of tasks: yes/no and numerical (e.g. count how many minutes, words, steps etc).
- An option to start the new day at 3am.
- Works offline, no registration, data is stored locally.
- Not only free and ad-free, but also open source! <3 <3 <3
- Other options that I currently don't need (task notes, reminders/notifications).

Cons:

- Data is stored locally, so if something happens to your phone, it's gone. But it's possible to export it to file, and backup with an external app. Also, manually restore from a backup file if you change your phone.
- No gamification ;)

Hope it will help me to get back on track :)

Current Mood: hopeful
