Hey, this is my Now page. I first ran into the idea through Derek Sivers. 2024-01-29

Books I am Reading:
Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain by Betty Edwards

Spire Dweller on Royal Road

Joy On Demand reread to write down previous marked notes

Tiny Habits ditto.

Cashew is doing well. He has gotten more cuddly as winter progresses. I am working on developing more of a support network in my life after unfortunate events throughout 2023. Thankfully only a few were avoidable, and I have found ways to skillfully handle them all either way.

Recently I reread the book Getting Things Done by David Allen and I have been refreshing my habits associated with that system of task management and intentional decision. It has been easier to adapt the system as a series of behaviors using my more mature experience with behavior change than when I first applied it. However, the effect of using the GTD system still feels almost magical. Difficult things almost glide to completion if you consistently manage the small steps and maintain a focus on performing the Next Actions in appropriate contexts. Big issue after big issue has simply been dissolving with ease. I look forward to getting the opportunity to see if it works as smoothly for someone else I guide through the process.

My fitness is mostly walking a few miles a day and occasional calisthenics but nothing organized. I am working on fixing that this week. I had never been on a Stair Machine before so I have been doing those when I do get to the gym to see what that kind of tired is like.

My diabetic health is in shambles. Hopefully the doctor I am seeing tomorrow can give me competent medical support. I have been dealing with a doctor I found out lacked integrity and that makes most things harder in a diabetic’s life.

I am writing a few hours a day by hand.
