I just realised I haven’t written anything yet this year.
So we’re rectifying that immediately with a silly little list of all the (current) things I do when I want something to do that sparks joy and all that shit but sadly would forget about because my brain struggles with remembering that I’m doing a project unless I can physically see it pretty much all of the time.
But it’s not very practical to surround my bedroom with every artefact from ongoing projects.
So I put them in a spreadsheet instead.
God do I love a spreadsheet.
Some bullet points obviously have an almost infinite sublist, such as ‘paint miniatures’, which already contains twenty or so miniatures and various sculpting all concealed in that one bullet point.
But because I can continue on that project in anyway I like, ‘paint miniatures’ will do as far as reminders to myself are concerned.
This list is also, obviously, subject to all manners of change. For all you know, I’ve already changed it haha.
These are in no order at all, it’s just how I remembered them at the time of putting them into the spreadsheet.
I then added a random function so it would just pick any of them anytime I update a cell—it’s basic as fuck and I love it.
