Progress that you managed: well i did not do workout yesterday- but lucky me a good workout routine has its break days *sigh of relief*
Wordcount: 150ish in ink on paper
I need: to stay positive, even if work is a mess
I want to share: it's just about not giving up!

honestly i'm all themed out for the day... i am still tired and my roommate is making so much rumpus, making my headache worse, and really i need to get out of here...

i spoke to soon, and it is rainy again here *headdesks*

Current Mood: annoyed
Current Location: where the weather was just messing with me

Goals for the month:get back into my routines, and get as much stuff done on my to do list as possible, get one more job interview

Wordcount: about 100ish in handwriting
I need: motivation
I want to share: a high5 with everyone who is going strong this month! go you and get your stuff done, we can do it!

and today i have another question:
who of you has done a mind map on the pc?
and if you have done one, mind to share which software you used, and if you found it easy or difficult to use?

i personally have experience with:
DIA
yED Graph editor -- though i use thos too mostly for electronic circuits, but yEd does do nice maps too

and then i tried Nova Mind- but it works rather shitty, if you dont give them money,_and_ even better they deleted my account (lucky me my map got too big to handle on the free software, and i had it exported and modified it in yEd so i did not loose it,
now i am testing XMind and and so far it seems to work fine and rather nice, though some of the really nice stuff you cant do in the free software, and i refuse to give them money (because you know at the moment this cat is broke and working towards a big move)
a friend of mine said she uses paint and or word- i was aghast i mean, that does not even sound like an option to me, but it works nice for her, so i'm down with that too.
is there any software i forgot that you really like, and would enforce me to use?

this proud cat is not interested in any sort human politics, so please forgive her in her ignorant ways, when she is not commenting to you on such posts, as this cat really as no opinion to offer, voters vote *shrugs* cats lie in the sun and enjoy the heat, or on the heater because the sun is in hiding- we can totally talk about the hiding sun, and how it is annoying this cat a lot, even if right now i am sitting in a ray of sunlight and do you believe it my fur is heating up! just wow!

Current Mood: surprised
Current Location: where today there is light- thouhg its bitter, bitter, bitter cold
Current Music: none because i could not decide what to listen to *headdesks*

I want to share: If at first you dont succeed...

Game of stress relief and i played it yesterday so hard, just the destruction itself was fun!
i was so angry at my pc, but with this little gem my feelings have mostly settled again because sometimes it's just fun and relaxing to destroy things that annoy you, so i thought i might share it with you <3

Current Mood: mellow
Current Location: where the tools have ruined the mojo i got
Current Music: a nice podfic to get motivation back

Goals for the month:
Goal for the day:survive work, go to yet another interesting exhibition _after work_, edit the recording from yesterday, put down words

I need: motivation! so much motivation because i am all "meh" right now !
I want to share:

ok, today i come at you with a question:
what do you all think about this mindfluness movement?

like i understand the concept on focusing on what you are doing now, and do it with concentration and awareness, but i mean all the time? as a writer i need my daydreams, i need to swift off and let my thoughts wander to find the story. and i totally have written stories already posted by just writing down what is in my mind and coming and going. also my work is really not difficult, so i also plot and take notes while doing it.
i dont feel bad about that, and honestly i like that my wind has the ability to walk off and into stories, and i dont do it when i am with others talking or really focusing on a task (and i usually do only one task at a time as i _suck_ at multi-tasking)?
so what do you think- should i be more mindful, even while doing routine, boring tasks?
is there a up-side down-side to it?

Current Mood: thoughtful
Current Location: still hanging on and doing stuff!
Current Music: series in the background

Goals for the month: get back into my routines, and get as much stuff done on my to do list as possible, get one more job interview
Goal for the day:record new podfic, put words to owl, do the iron because that is the one chore i loath, work on task i was avoiding
Goals reached yesterday:exhibition was seen and a disappointment sadly enough, but i did other chores
Progress that you managed: put down words to owl, updated master list, and put my paper to do lists in order
Wordcount:a around 150
I need: a smile would be nice <3

today i have some nice things about creativity for you.
a short article about the brain on creativity and what it will do to you and then the art of creativity which is a lengthy article with tips and trick.
as a bonus: the oatmeal on creativity!

i found out that my creativity is highly influenced by 1. the music in my ear, 2. my surroundings and 3th my mood, which is absolutely not helping anyways, especially when you dont always have a mood.

while this is being posted i have a nice time in the museum! lucky me!

Current Mood: tired
Current Location: where timezones making stuff so that i see the future! it comes with tasks!

Goals for the month: get back into my routines, and get as much stuff done on my to do list as possible, get one more job interview
Goal for the day: enjoy my morning at a very interesting exhibition (that has free entry) and then get stuff done, because stuff needs always to get done: which means i want to put words on owl-fic, and words on application, plus finish chapter for thesis
Goals reached yesterday: by know you and i both know the drill *sigh*
Progress that you managed: handed in another owl- asked for extension for the last, baked yummy bread, did laundry
Wordcount:~2k
I need: motivation, so so much!
I want to share: if the weather is mean to you, be mean to it: if it rains, stay inside and laugh at the wetness that is not reaching you.! this is what i shall do today.
also yesterday all day, someone went through my hd-ao3 fics one after another and left comments. i feel kinda bad for them because my writing does not deserve such dedication, and lucky that i did not put all my fics up there, but also very happy and somehow excited. that was a very nice thing to do from them!

just because i'm interested, what do you eat so all day around or when you are in special moods?
like i eat a lot of chewing gum when i'm nervous/angry/excited/busy/stressed.
when i feel good i want to eat healthy with veggies and fruits and lovely meat
and yes when i'm down it totally has to be the chocolate!
but sometimes i also reward myself with chocolate because it is so good.
also i noticed that somehow i ate less and less over the last week, and i dont think its really bad, i was just wondering if that might be the bad mood, and that food simply does not taste that awesome right now (which is only my fault since i cook my own food)
but anyways- do you have any thoughts on food?
is it important? do you enjoy the convenience stuff? is food not playing any role at all in your life?

remember the story that drove me insane 3 days back?
well i found it, and the amazing author has blanket permission for her works - guess who has a new story to record (๑ↀᆺↀ๑)✧

Current Mood: tired
Current Location: where i'm still freezing and someone did not pick up their weather

Goals for the month: get back into my routines, and get as much stuff done on my to do list as possible, get one more job interview
Goal for the day: finish my 2ed owl, stick to routine, bake bread
Goals reached yesterday: nothing *sigh* i was a frozen person yesterday and hide in bed because my fingers and toes where turning blue-ish and painful and believe me putting warm water on them was making it worse! and after work i was just beat, and went to bed early too!
Progress that you managed: not to really freeze up and go to work? that is totally progress
Wordcount:
I need: care less about unimportant stuff
I want to share: Life happens wherever you are, whether you want it or not!

i have noticed that we all struggle with focus, and i tried to find something to ramify that:
did you now there is a wiki-how-to: focus out there?
that even sounds reasonable and doable?
and then i found this gem: 5 tips to improve your concentration which i found also quite helpful!
so i hope when you have a time and go through this, it might be handy to you too!

who ever ordered the load of rain- let me tell you it has been delivered to my place. please come and pick it up, because i am getting sick by it.

I need: my brain to start focusing and stop noticing distractions - also does anybody of you remember this fic: harry is an auror and is hunting down draco as he is dealing with illegal potions- they met in an in and harry is for a time convinced it's not draco, then they sleep together, and jap it is draco but harry cant say that because it would be bad for him too, draco then tries to confess to ron, but harry has destroyed the evidence, and the end is not set in stone but looking pretty good and happy- rings any belles? please? *does cute
