Hello comrades and welcome to the third improvement megathread of September! It’s the middle day of the month, good time to review your progress so far and remind yourself of your goals for the rest of the month. bonfire

As usual, some discussion ideas:

  • How is your September going so far?
  • Do you want to share something you’ve done in the previous week? Everything counts, nothing is too small.
  • Do you have any goals or plans for next week?
  • Do you have any streaks? For example, “sober for one day.” Feel free to post your streak every day in this thread.
  • If you don’t have a continuous streak, did you manage to abstain from something for a day or more?
  • Did you come across some useful information or resource that might help others?

Good luck with your goals! unity

    I’m currently maintaining my various successes. I’m reading books, I’m lifting weights, I’m not wasting time on the internet, I’m actively working on developing my programming skills, I’m trying to “NETWORK™®©” (it’s far harder to have a simple but genuine conversation with strangers these days, even at networking events, everyone is trying to boost their brand and shit), and in general all is well. I’m also reconnecting with my writing passion. I have been writing really bad short stories to help get the creative waters flowing from my brain to keyboard, still SUPER far from where I want to be but we are moving in the right direction. Slowly, but certainly moving.

    I hope all the Hexbear c/self_improvement continue to better themselves in every way they can. I really think that actively looking at yourself and becoming better for the sake of yourself is wonderful. Not for the market, not to “self-optimize”, none of that shit, but purely for the sake of being better because you want to be. I think that’s dope.
