I didn't have a lot of sleep... was busy working on a late night project due for, well... now. I feel like I did ok, but I guess we'll see what 3 am me did and how badly he messed up if he did (was that even a sentence? I dunno anymore...) You know... I really strive to do more... which is just a fancy way of saying I wish I could work more... Like drawing! Everyday I am like, alright, tonight, I am taking 1 or 2 hours of my time to draw! Let's do this! And I've been telling myself that for like 2 years... I haven't drawn a single time. Maybe the problem is that ''tonight'' bit, I dunno But I am in a good mood I promise (Promise ye hear?) Finished some work, used a part of Maya I never used before and the result... well it looks alright, I haven't done a lot of texturing so the result is still rough but it looks like whats it's suppose to look like. So toodle, I'll be posting something else later tonight The issue, I've come to realize, is to start something up. When you manage that it usually takes very little to continue the activity. The brain has a good ability of resisting new challenges but when we're finally in them we also want to finish and gather something meaningful from them. At least that's my experience.

Yeah that sounds about right, just need to make it a routine somehow... ____ Also, tis now day 02, I managed to survive today, with 3 hours of sleep, I am dead tired, and I really want to go to bed. Managed to take some advance in some project, so that's nice. Need to work more on some other stuff... not as nice... Don't know how to fill those empty moments now that I am not surfing the web Toodles, going to bed
September 28, 20223 yr Author Day 3 Threeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Hurray, still bored, and so, so, SO tired. So I am going to bed now, goood night
September 29, 20223 yr Author Day 04 Welp, it's day 04 now. A bit less bored then usual, slowly starting to understand that fun doesn't happen on it's own, and that I have to actually DO thing... still working on that (it's work in progress)
September 30, 20223 yr Author Day 05 Worked a bunch, discovered some new tools on maya to do cloths simulation SOooooo cool And the quadDraw tool. Fun stuff
October 1, 20223 yr Author Day 06 Hey! Getting close to a new full week! Nice! I have been bothered by some stuff though... like... I don't use my computer for any ''fun'' activity anymore (and that's good), but I still procrastinate... that's annoying. I'll start to look into ways to deal with this, I mean... that whole POINT of doing all of this is to spend more time doing the things I need to do... so if I just avoid them, there's a problem. Toodles
October 1, 20223 yr Author Day 07 Welp, it's now been a full week, hurray! Things seem to be going fine today so far, should be able to hang in there (even if surfing on the web has been pretty tempting today) Been thinking about being more active for some time now (yes, I know that's the easy part), and I think that I'll start by waking up earlier when I reach day 10. Something like, 6h15? I usually wake up at this hour during the week when I have to go to school, but during the weekend or when I have a break... well it's a different story, and I would like to change that since it's been bothering me. So the objective would be something like : - Wake up at 6h15 - Make and drink coffee - Do 15 minutes of work, just to make sure I don't wake, get down stairs and then just go back to sleep on the couch or something (yes I tend to do that, it's not the first time that I've tried to do this...) Yep... this should do for now, I'll change the rule when I reach day 10, if you guys have any suggestions I'll be glad to hear them Bye bye now
October 2, 20223 yr Author Day 08 Mhhhhhok, day 08 Nice Nice nice nice Still bored, but honestly I am getting used to it, or at least I don't think it's affecting my mood as much, so that's nice. __ I read an interesting idea when I was skulking around on this forum, something about a written contract/ engagement that you and an other person would sign. If you ever broke said contract, you'd be forced to give a set amount of money to that other person. I was thinking that I could try to do something similar, but here, I mean it's possible to make donations on this website, so why not? It would something like ''I engage myself to give 5$ each time that I fail to accomplish the goals that I've established on this forum for a period of 90 days'' or something. I mean, it would certainly be a good source of motivation, and I'll need that when I add objective #2 on day 10 (the one below) - Wake up at 6h15 - Make and drink coffee - Brush your teeth and get dressed for god's sake (added that one) - Do 15 minutes of work ___ Yeah... waking up is not easy for me... but I did wake up at 6h15 today, as a form of warmup, didn't do the other 3 things though... or at least not right after waking up So yeah! That's about it for today. Bye bye
October 3, 20223 yr Author Day 09 Today I'll update the rules for tomorrow, I feel like this is a good idea, it might actually push me to change for once! Aside from that, nothing to mention, today was nice 🙂

October 3, 20223 yr Author Not necessarily, I don't want to overload myself with goals until I feel comfortable with them, that whole getting up thing might take longer then 10 days, I've been having a hard time with that one But the objective is to eventually add more goals, yes
October 5, 20223 yr Author Objective 01, day teeeein Same old, same old No game, no internet. Didn't mind as much honestly, starting to rediscover a passion I had for reading fantasy books ___________ Objective 02, day 01 Ah HA It worked!

October 9, 20223 yr Author Objective 01, day 0 Reset...Crap... this is humiliating 50...................................................................................................again ___ Objective 02, day 05 Still working so far ___ 8 hours ago, Yan said: Do you refer to the one below? Well yes, but I also update the very FIRST post i made on this thread each time I update / change the rules I add a paragraph like : Update 2022/05/ 27 Today I'll invest in toilet paper ____ Etc. So yeah, could have been more specific lol, probably was a bit confusing
October 10, 20223 yr Author Objective 01, Day 01 I feel like something clicked in my brain about this objective. Don't know how to describe it, like an alarm ringing in my head when I think about wasting time and procrastinating on the internet Maybe that 50$ thing was a good idea after all? Too early to tell honestly, I'll have to see the results before making any assumption... _________ Objective 02, day 06 Hey this isn't going too bad, getting near to a full week! Originally, I was thinking about adding a new objective on day 15... but I had to reset the counter on objective 01, so maybe I'll put that on hold until I've reached day 15 for both objectives. ________ Next objective I had in mind was about the amount of time I spend working on school stuff per day. In class we do something around 7 hours of raw works in total (break excluded). We also start at 8h30 am. Those are things I'd like to do on the weekend. I mean, I already pretty much do it, I just don't start at 8h30 am sharp, and that could use some work. Bye bye
