october 2016 goals post

It's that time again! A new month, a clean slate. Stretch yourself to add a new goal or two this month if you want, or just double down on some you might have fallen short on last month. 

Examples of possible goals can be found here.

Remember to both challenge yourself, and be realistic so that you're not just setting yourself up for failure! And remember, just checking in can net you XP, whether you wind up meeting all your goals or not. ♥

gonna keep it 'simple' this month and see what happens...
→ up by 7:30 20/28 days (starting 10/4)
→ 20:00-21:30 - 90 minutes of RP time per night. 30 minutes to wind up creativity and 60 to write. no breaking the appt. stick and play longer with tags instead of moving on from them. embrace the discomfort. no chat.
→ bed by 22:30, screens OFF (listen to an audiobook or read comics)

rewards:
← RP time = iSkelter lapdesk
← AM wakeup = more hue bulbs!
← bed time = this stupid lamp that looks dirty but idc i want that sucker
