Productivity & Accountability Thread

[ZeldaCrossing64]

I have a day off tomorrow, so I have some time to get some of my tasks done!

• Finish my laundry, since I need both my work shirts and the new shirts I bought cleaned.
• Clean my room, it's been a mess for long enough and I think being in a clean environment would do wonders for my overall mood.
• Go to the pharmacy to get my prescriptions.
• Transfer half of my paycheck into my savings account, and give the money I owe my dad.
• Finish the fanfic I started a month ago...
• Finish one of my sketches I did who knows how long ago, though this is low on my priority list.
• Check and reply to some of my emails.

- Change my bed sheets
- Vacuum the house
- Do my therapy homework
- Complete a journal entry prompt that's way overdue

December to-do

• Practice playing test piece until I can play 108 BPM (by Dec. 11) (it doesn't sound that hard but it really is)
• Run the hell out of my gala performance song (by Dec. 11)
• Practice Disney band pieces (by end of January) (18 REHEARSALS UNTIL WE PERFORM WHAT THE HELL WE NEED MORE) (the trip's in May but if I can't play most pieces proficiently by the end of January I run the risk of getting kicked out) (18 sounds like a lot but we have like 13 pieces)
• Buy Christmas gifts (hopefully soon)
• Restock stage makeup (this weekend)
• Tell my theatre director I can't perform this year (SOON) (show clashes with band) (he would know by now but ya boy has social anxiety)
• Finish the first three chapters of the one fic (by Sunday)
• Clean binder
• Clean backpack
• Clean room (better earlier than later)

Hoping to get back into reading fanfic and just books in general. I haven't had the motivation to read lately (big change from a few months ago when I absolutely binged all the books I could and physically couldn't stop reading ff), so I'm going to try read two books of my own choice in 2025. Really small goal, but hopefully that makes it achievable.

Random thought, but I've learned that the trick to being productive is to grasp any semblance of motivation and just go for it. Once I start thinking, "Hm I should probably get started on that one task" I just go for it. It's so hard to be fully motivated, and when I procrastinate I lose all motivation I had which makes it even harder to start something. So no matter how small, once you start even thinking about the task, just do it. You will get in the zone I promise.

I'm off work for the next few days, so hopefully I can get my tasks done ASAP.

• Clean my room and do my laundry (Biggest priority since my room is a mess...)
• Book an appointment with my doctor
• Reply to one of my emails and message my older brother
• Order a birthday gift for some family members
• Play some games - Either Stardew Valley, one of the South Park games, or the demo for the Dog Man game
• Put some of my new CDs in CD cases, since a few of them don't have one
• Do a bit of grocery shopping
• Listen to at least one new album

I had a lil nap, so now I should all be good to get some things done today.

- Need to do some drawing in my 365 drawing book thing, as I am behind. Might be just focusing on faces, hands and hair again.
- I might focus on some myth drawing, sketch it maybe?
- I really wanna work on my portfolio!! Feel more better about it in some ways.
- May do some diamond painting bits. Nearly finished one I got from my sister.
- Maybe read another chapter of a book.
- I added a ACNH guide app which I have had on my laptop before, but decided to put it on my phone instead because it will be quicker so updating that too.

Well, this was reasonably productive!

I didnt realise I was low on butter so need to postpone the curry until I get to a shop. My PT needed to reschedule one of my sessions to tomorrow, so that's the reason I only attended 1 over the weekend!

• i would like to continue to work on my art requests
• i wanna draw something for one my closest friend's birthday (ദ്ദി ˃ω˂∩)♡
• i very much want to send some messages to my dear friends, as it feels like forever since some of us have chatted since we have all had something going on in our lives and ive been really missing and thinking about them all the time, so it feels wayyy longer than it has.. ;v;
• continue to look for a job before my new program starts this summer
• get something done for said program

 

[Chris]

Okay I think I'm calling it here. It's almost 4pm but I started on this list at 7am (with breaks).

I mistakenly planned two slow cooker recipes for today, which would have been doable if I'd (a) gotten my groceries earlier and (b) the recipe I chose to start with hadn't required marinading the meat and I was missing a key ingredient. Oops! But I did at least do the prep for the casserole (air-fried the sausages, chopped veg, measured spices) and now all I need to do is chuck it in the slow cooker before work tomorrow along with garlic, tomato paste, and tinned tomatoes/cannellini beans.

Spoiler: Casserole prep

My partner will help me with cleaning Seb & Delta's room tomorrow and I'll make the burritos after work someday this week. Tired of being in the kitchen, as I also cooked brunch today (air-fried salmon, steamed spinch, and a poached egg).

 

[ZeldaCrossing64]

I'm hoping to complete these tasks some time this week... Doubtful since I only have two more day offs after today.

• Clean room and finish laundry (like, ASAP)
• Go to appointments on Wed. and Thurs.
• Finish birthday drawing for my partner
• Return one of my packages from Hot Topic
• Relisten to a few albums:
  • Hybrid Theory
  • Eaten Back To Life
  • Death Magnetic
• Bake oatmeal chocolate chip cookies

 

[Giddy]

I have been researching about AI for an application, and need to write down the notes I need, as well as understanding how to write a comment articlefor said AI as short as the word limit they want.

Need to make more notes for another application I am applying for.

Plan to look for more jobs today.

I am WELL behind on my art book and need to do some at some point.

Need to go through my photography.

Slowly get into creative writing at some point too.

This unfortunately wasn't the productive day I'd planned.

I slept on and off until 4pm today due to an awful tension headache, so productivity went completely out the window.

I did start prep for the burritos though. I cooked up 1kg mince beef, a tin of black beans, and a cup of rice. Tomorrow after work I'll roast the vegetables and assemble.

I may still get to the cupcakes tonight, but if not then in the next few days. Carrots need used up.

 

[ZeldaCrossing64]

A couple of these tasks are unfinished ones from last week, but I'm hoping I can get them done this time.

• Return one of my items from Hot Topic
• Catalogue my CD collection
• Mail CDs to my friends
• Bake chocolate chip cookies
• Relisten to Iron Maiden albums
• If I have time, complete some drawings
