I just had some really good feedback in my 4-month review. I'm super excited for 2018, Stephan. It's going to be a good year. And I'll have about a week in Seattle between 12/27 and 01/03 to work on personal things. I'd like to have some stuff setup to foster an environment of working on personal projects.

Which is to say, I want this website to be proper.

I'll also put actually writing in a separte area from the timeblock and just data aggregation.

I should probably make a data area.

Also, crunch time has ended and it's time to properly enforce timing on the things I want to devote time to. I've made some progress towards deleting timesinks I don't want anymore (I've made Reddit super expensive in my Browsing Costs extension, and I've once-again deleted my Twitter account), but devoting time to reading books and stuff is a thing I'll need to work out.

I also plan on learning piano starting in the new year (there's a music room in the library that has a piano in it). If I can keep the habit up, I'll switch to the violin (which I'll have to buy).

I bring this up because I'm finally reading an article again and it's reminding me of the short period of time wherein I posted "today's reading", before I startd reading "Basic Economics" (which I should borrow again and finish).

Find the Coaching in Criticism is what I'm reading, by the way.

I think it might be a matter of doing these things in cycles instead of purely day-to-day. Reading a book, especially the books I tend to read, is kind of a project, and I also want to work on actual projects. So I'll need to decide what my project is.
