#and i don't want to stash Actual TM books away...

October plans

The new year is starting in 3 months, and I just wanna make sure I've done a reset and given myself a blank slate. This preparation is important because it gives me a (false) sense of control over my life.

1. Reduce the mess

Spring clean and sell stuff on carousell. What to clean? My make-up stash, facial/body stuff (e.g. the very big moisturizer, the empty lotions, the old conditioners, my old laptop bag), stuff on top of my desk (e.g. the bigass mirror), food stuff I won't eat. Then finally organize my Nihongo notes. What to sell? The clothes I put away, the sofa bed, books I've already read.

Back up my phone. I need to do this because it keeps bugging me and I hate it. I'm just gonna plug it into my laptop, move the stuff to my hard drive, and call it a day.

Return to inbox 0. Just 'cause.

2. Do something

Complete Inktober. Look, I already know this is gonna be hard. But by December, I'm gonna have a long-ass vacation, I hope I can make it so I deserve it. That I'm taking a break from doing real hard work.

Do TechLadies Bootcamp. This is another hard thing(TM) that I want to be able to do this year. As of now it's still uncertain, but let's hope I get in and I don't end up feeling lazy and actually perform well in it.

Probably, finish the macrame wall hanging thing. That's another something that's bugging my head.

3. Actually study Nihongo.

Finish transferring my notes.

Keep a notebook of kanjis. Memorize 2,000 kanjis by December?

Read the N5 book.

I'm not sure how much time I can dedicate to this but I hope it's more than the 4-5hrs per week that I do.

Ok those are my top 3 priorities. Obviously I have to exercise, cook my meals, finish 3 more books, watch my shows, follow tutorials on Skillshare, so I'm not sure how I'm gonna fit them all together in my free time outside work.

If I get home at around 7pm and I need to stop working on anything around 11pm so I can go to sleep at 12, I have 4 hrs of free time on weekdays.

Per week that's 20hrs of free time. 15 of that I'm already gonna dedicate to TechLadies and learning frontend dev. The other 5 I guess goes to Inktober. Others, like Nihongo and working out I will have to fit between my work.
