HELLO SUMMER BREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Its time to lock in for a fabulous, enjoyable, fun, successful summer break!!!!!!! so im gonna go back to setting monthly goals which i believe I havent done since february?? or march?? something like that
My main focus for june is to steadily build a good foundational routine that I can build on to through the rest of summer!
HABITUAL GOALS
- Drink 2 liters of water a day
- Keep a consistent shower schedule at least 5 days a week
- Journal at least 5 days a week
- Start a day with a todo list at least 5 days a week
- 4 days of exercise a week for at least 30 minutes
PROJECTS
- Publish children's book -> I probably should set weekly and daily goals for this so I can actually finish it erergrggahhhg!!!!!
- Record at least half of Notes of a Crocodile -> so far I think I've been on a good pace, but maybe I can set more specific deadlines for these too throughout the month so I can keep my progress accountable
THINGS TO FIX
- Reels addiction mainly...: Currently I'm in this infinite loop of scrolling until overstimulated and then deleting the app entirely until im normal again. I think I should set up a time during the day where I redownload insta to check DMs and other stuff maybe for like 10~20 minutes and then for the rest of the day I can just have it deleted it off my phone. Maybe once in the afternoon and once before bed!! I just dont like starting off my day with insta bc it kinda ruins my mood in a bad way.
Maybe I will dooooo 12:00-12:10 p.m. and 11:00~11:10 p.m.?? I'll see how this works out for now
And this is mainly it!!! There's also other things I have in mind that I want to maybe get done during June, but I don't really want this to be overcluttered with a bunch of things rn and I thing keeping a few important goals at a time is easier to follow!! A weekly recap and review on myself I think would be very nice so I will add that to my google calendar.
There's 3 weeks left till the month ends and I'll try to make them good!!!
I should probably set aside another time to write specific goals/timeframes for projects
It would also be a good idea to use a habit tracker!!! I can probably set this up in notion :)!!!!yay!!

JUNE REVIEW (7/1/25)
Looking through all my entries throughout june I realized that I hung out w ppl more than i thought! i think this is good...hopeuflly more hangouts w ppl in the future but also i want to spend less money lowk lolll
Lets start w everything from the top:
----------
GOALS
Water) I think i kinda accomplished it....the first half or so I was super strict on myself with drinking water and then i loosened a bit but I still made it a habit of keeping myself hydrated...It would be nice if I could keep better track of how much I'm drinking though
consistent shower schedule) this went ok for a bit, then it got destroyed mostlty bc of my wacky sleep schedule, and then recently (starting yesterday) it got a bit better. the key was just having a consistent routine for my morning shower. i basically always made sure to shower before bed bc otherwise it screws up my sleep schedule so the only issue was my daytime schedule. i should keep making sure that i keep a consistent morning routine and i think i should try building on to it too!
Journal) flawlessly succeeded! probably the easiest goal i had for the month, but im still proud of myself regardless! It has helped a lot in getting my thoughts together, and recently i set up a new goal to be more active on SpaceHey bc i find that I type my thoughts out more thorougly when im here compared to when im journaling by myself, and i think this will help out a lot too!!! one thing i realized while looking through my june entries was wishing there was a brief recap at the top of everything i did...but idk i might get lazy and im not too desperate for it so i'll leave it offf..but its an idea!! to have some sort of summary of the day instead of just blocks of texts i guess
Todo list) also has been very successful! for the most part...i think i only missed a few days. idk ab following the tasks itself but it has still been very helpful to have. a new goal i have is to review the plans i made for myself everyday at the start of the day. i want this to be in my morning routine!
exercise) fumbled baddd....walking was actually easier but once i implemented the exercise program ive been slacking. honestly idk what to do ab it as of now. ughhhhhhhh i'll thyink ab it in a few minutes when i do my july affirmations
------------------------
PROJECTS
Children's book) unpublished yet but good progress made. the hard part is done i think basically. i just have to color and add effecttsss and fix the texts a bit
Audiobook) ughhh not much done. first notebook and part of second notebook done
initially i had good pacing w my progress for the audiobook but i honestly havent touched it for days. and i think its bad bc the more i lose touch on my projects the less likely i'll get it done!! SO i should at least try to keep all of these guys fresh in my mind
--------------------------------
Things to fix
Reels) it fluctuated but it has recently gotten better
Bedtime) struggling harddd......i slept at 4:30 am last night. but ive been trying to make more acticve effort by setting up an alarm. i set up target bedtimes but usually dont follow it. but thats when i dont get work done and im sad or im super into whbatever im doing (usually drawing)
--------------------------------
Other
been pretty consistent with practicing my accordion and ive been happy with that
i did some more busy work stuff for the first half of the month...stuff related to college and etc...but i still feel lost and i still have stuff to take care of that ive been ignoring...so im hoping i can get to those things more during July. technically its midsummer so i feel like i should feel the most busiest..and that calls for a lot of active effort on my side
would rate this month like...6~7/10. i overall think it was better than what it used to be and im glad im still like...actively reflecting about things and at least consistently doing something even if its small to make things better

Week 3 (~6/28/25)
Probably worst week of the month. lots of doomscrolling and disappointments in myself in a lot of ways. i still stuck with practicing my accordion and some good chunks of progress on the children's book...but otherwise i think a lot of my days i felt like were unfulfilling and depressing and sad. im also in that same state as im writing this. i am hoping a beginning to a new month will make things better
very bad sleep quality probably because of wacky sleep schedule
some exercise here and there but not as much as i would want it to be. i think we should implement back walking somewhere. things were much better when i had a clear routine made!
drinking water...this is a test of my own willpower!!! drinking water is not hard...i really need to get back on holding myself accountable for it though
and also overall just a bad diet
i did journal and write a todo list everyday though
i was off reels more towards the end of the week but now i kinda just fill that time watching yt vids...and i think it is better but its still not the best use of my time and energy
a habit tracker would help a lot, but atm i dont rlly have one set up..or like i do but its on notion and likeee its like programmed so that i have to mark it before 12 and so its been kinda hard bc of my bedtime. but i just had an idea of smth i could do instead so i'll try that out today
its hard but also its realistic that things get hard sometimes! lets still try our best to make the best out of what i have left

Week 2 (~6/21/25)
uhhh kinda sucky. first few days were good in terms of executing plans, but i had frequent hangouts this week so it kinda screwed a lot of things up. I'm currently behind on both my audiobook and children's book, but i still want to try my best to get as much done bc the goals I set are so that I can get these eventually done, not just by the deadline. I really need to manifest a "try your best as much as you can" instead of "all or nothing"
so at the moment I am a little more than halfway done w the sketches at least! and no progress made with the audiobook :(
at the very least I have been practicing my accordion almost everyday and im seeing the progress being made, and most of all i am very happy that i have sorta trained myself to have a routine and just mindlessly practice for 2~3 hrs.
theres a lot of things that are a mess right now, such as reels, and mainly my sleep schedule, which i feel like is the main thing fucking me up
im gonna try to focus on those things first to get my wellbeing in check, as well as things i have already been doing like drinking water and journaling.
and also exercising! the workourt program is def doable...ive just been procrastinating on it or not finding time to do it...which is bad...so i might have to get back to at least doing short walks.
lets try to ease back into where i was first. dips like these always happen. even when i was thriving on a schedule back in winter break, i had days where i just kinda felt hopeless and like ive lost my rhythm
whats important is to not give up!

I've decided to do my weekly check-ins here which honestly i feel like makes the most sense
WEEK 1 (6/6~6/13)
first week and so theres a few days included that happened before I set up these intricate plans...
I am on track for both of my projects
-layouts and thumbnails for book are complete
-nb1 of the book has been recorded
I've followed my habitual goals for this week except maybe the shower one sorta...i still shower twice a day but sometimes i end up doing my morning shower at like...4 pm so yeah i should probably push myself to shower earlier!
reels addiction has gotten better after just setting aside time for insta in my routine. i still download it sometimes even when im not supposed to post vids on my story and look through them but i keep them BRIEF so i believe its not a problem.
---
Another problem i want to address is sleep bc ive been sleeping late and i want to fix it!! as early as i can!!! before it gets worse and i start sleeping at 5. currently trying that thing again where i draw back my bedtime by 30 minutes each day until im back at my target time. my current target time is like 12. so theoretically by sometime next week i should be there. but we will see!! so i guess watch out for that for next week.
-----
Overall very solid week and feeling good ab everything! lots of fun, productive, and goodie goodies this week.
