I hesitate to call this a weekly update, but here I am, posting again. I'm not sure what it is, but posting has felt really difficult lately, so I've missed a lot of Thursdays. Things are going relatively well in my corner of reality though, so that's a good thing.
I've kept up with Duolingo and I haven't done too poorly with staying on top of the dishes and all of the falling leaves. Yoga has been so-so, probably around 75% of my intended goal; not terrible, but not as good as I'd like. I have read three books this month, which I'm really pleased with, but I think I may have forgotten about my flute practice. I've also had a rather hard time tracking my daily tasks lately, so I feel like I'll have to make a call to either remedy that or ditch it; I'm not sure which yet.
My birthday was earlier this month, and I had a lovely get together with some friends and family. I've also had a decent chance to hang out with my good friend and my boyfriend. It's mostly been small things, like lunches and going to a local national park, but sometimes those are the best kind of days. I need to make more time to see my family and to do more things with my friends, but I seem to struggle the most with making time for everything, especially if it means less time to do what I want (even if I want to do *both* things).
Something I've realized lately is that I don't have time for nearly as many hobbies as I'd like to. I'm not great at switching between things, so I'm likely to binge one hobby (say reading) and ignore the others (e.g. puzzles or knitting) in the meantime. I would love to be able to make time to do all of them at once, but I'm not sure how to make that happen. I'm not sure I *can* make that happen. It's not a problem, necessarily, it just means that I can't do as many things as I'd like in as short a time frame as I'd like. It also extends to not being able to pause the hobby/fun thing I'm doing to do "necessary" things, like dishes or yard work, or visiting family. I'd like to get better at managing my time and juggling my tasks, but so far, I don't have any ideas on how to make that happen.
In the meantime, I'm going to keep working on my goals as best I can, and I'm going to try to prioritize things I'd like to get done before the holiday season.
I hope you all are doing well and I hope to talk to you again soon! :D
