So I've successfully made out a list for every day of October. The lists are of completely random things that I want to do, things I need to do, and appointments I need to remember. A lot of the items I write down are reminders to myself that I have things going on.
Doing this has taught me quite a few things about myself. Although, I'm not sure I know exactly what those things are. I'm either lazy and don't actually do anything with my life, or I have high expectations of what I can achieve everyday, and I'm not meeting those expectations in the slightest. I've come to these conclusions based on the number of things that I write down, and that don't get done. Sometimes they get pushed to the next day, and I've had things written down 3 or 4 days in a row. Sometimes they just don't get done at all, because I've become derailed and gone off to do something else entirely. But there are a lot more things written that don't get cross off than the ones that do.
However, whether or not I get things done wasn't the point of this project. In that aspect, it's becoming very successful. I'm capturing my life, and what I'm doing with it. I'm thinking that next month I may try more abstract things, rather than those with tangible results. I need to focus on some different things, and next month may have more planning involved as well, rather than just throwing ideas down and hoping I get to them. But again, that doesn't really matter. Maybe I'll feel differently at the end of the month, and have new ideas for November. But for now, I'm enjoying the activity, and seeing where it goes.
