Reading Log ForOctober 14, 2022 (#1)
It's been a little bit since I've posted one of these. Been busy working on other projects and playing Wrath of the Lich King. Anyway, here's the newest list.
My list of my lists
I found this in one of the newsletters I subscribe to. I’m going to give it a try as I appreciate some of the ideas.
-
Gratitude: It’s important to remember all the people & things you’re thankful for. All too ofthen it’s easy to forget in the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
-
Stress & Suck: No one likes stress, but I think writing down some of the things that stress you out could help alleviate some of them.
-
Goals: Keeping track of goals, even long-term can help keep myself accountable.
