Got a decent amount done this weekend. Two episodes of Final Fantasy Marathon, one of Warriors Wednesday (already had one in the can), six episodes of Atari A to Z of various descriptions and the podcast I mentioned yesterday, which will probably be out next Monday, I believe. Not bad going!
It's nice when you get into a groove and feel like you're getting things done. It's easy to fall into unhealthy habits like staring repeatedly at the same websites over and over hour after hour, day after day; I've caught myself several times this weekend doing just that, but being conscious of the fact you're doing it helps you to break that habit somewhat.
Well, maybe not break the habit, but at least get yourself out of the situation at the time. Which is a start, at least. The process to changing your overall behaviours begins with recognising the things that you actually want to change, and making those changes with small steps.
As you might have noticed, I've been a bit down recently, and my creative stuff has been helping me take my attention away from the darker thoughts. I think I need to make some fundamental changes in the longer term, though; I'm looking for a new day job. There's just too much frustrating me about my current place, and a bit of research indicates that I'm also being quite significantly underpaid for what I do. So that sucks!
Of course, The Dream is always to be able to do what I love for a living, but that's still a long way off. In the meantime, I can make other changes like this… let's hope something good comes of it.
