I’ve been writing notes on what I’d hope to accomplish each quarter for the past few years. One issue I found with this is that a good amount of these tasks are not accomplished. Recently I’ve made a change to write this monthly instead of quarterly.
I’ve found that this accomplishes two things:
1. More attention is put towards these goals
2. The goals are more realistic

For the month of June my goals were to release SpliceX, pick up guitar, possibly start a powerline communication (PLC) project & do some research on machine learning models & music generation.
For the month of July, the plan is to
– Run a few attempts to get worldcomm on the app store,
– continue guitar
– get my server colocated(?). But realistically this may happen later this year
– Do at least 1 livestream making changes to SpliceX
– possibly start that PLC project
This list may change before July. Also its a shorter month since I have vacation that month

One thing that I found that helps is to pay attention to where time is being spent and increasing the amount of work involved to spend time on those things so that I don’t and do something more productive instead. In a given year I usually download and delete Facebook, discord, & Instagram 5-6 times. I delete them once I start using them a lot

The purpose of the livestream isn’t to get viewers or anything since the content wont be that exciting. It’s just so that I can stop thinking about wanting to do it along with a few other reasons that might not really matter.
Also I think my time is better spent livestreaming while making changes to SpliceX & maybe then I can introduce some sort of a structure.

Also I think I’m going to end that project idea with Berkeleys BOINC. It’s not that important
