The past few weeks have been rife with change. Judging from my older blog entries, I seem to say that quite a bit, but hear me out (I know you will, because no one else except me reads this site).

It all started rather innocuously, as I was flipping through youtube, and I stumbled upon a gaggle of videos about productivity, and getting up early.

Fast forward to now, and I've made the following changes:

• I wake up near 5am everyday.
• I've separated my hobbies / activities into the categories of "productive" and "consumptive"
• Each day, create equal amounts of time to partake in each.
• Every morning and every evening, I keep a journal of the day's exploits
• In each journal entry, the focus is on practicing grattitude, but also being more introspective about self improvement.

How I got to this point, I have no fucking clue. I'm even surprising myself a little.

I started with a Trello board with my habits and exploits, but then I migrated straight into Habitica, and I've actually been gamifying my habit creation scheme. It actually feels... dare I say, fun.

Writing blog entries is not something I even actively do, or have put that much effort into: however, I'm making a habit, for better or worse. It's a little odd writing a blog entry, where I don't discuss some terrible issue or problem that I'm having... which is usually what it takes for me to be introspective enough to write.

But here I am, feeling grateful, and writing at the same time. And I intend to be back here next week.

Seriously, what is my world coming to?!?!
