Good luck with your goals! 
A community which focusses on improving yourself. This can be in many different ways - from improving physical health or appearance, to improving mental health, creating better habits, overcoming addictions, etc.
While material circumstances beyond our control do govern much of our daily lives, people do have agency and choices to make, whether that is as "simple" as disciplining yourself to not doomscroll, to as complex as recreating yourself to have many different hobbies and habits.
This is not a place where all we do is talk about improving "productivity" (in a workplace context) and similar terms and harmful lifestyles like "grindset". Self-improvement here is intended to make you a generally better and happier person, as well as a better communist, and any other roles you may have in your life.
Rules and guidelines:
I got a new job, I start next month! I have two major projects at my current job, next month, guess who is not doing them?
Technique:
[ ] RLRRL 65bpm Scale 8 triplets 16ths 5mins x 2
I can play this now. The double right is tricky.
[ ] KRKR 140 5min x2
I feel like I'm close to being done with this, well see because I might not be coordinated enough to go into the 180-200 bpm range. I don't know how to explain it but 120-140 the leg needs to do more of an ankle stomp whereas 140+ you're using the calf muscle more.
Brush Groove:
The click happens on every 1 of every one or two bars.
[ ] 15 @ 15bpm
[ ] 15 @ 30bpm
[ ] 5 @ 20bpm
[ ] 5 @ 10bpm
The last two I'll start investing more time into later. Playing the + of 4 is hard on brushes.
Groove:
Same thing as brushes but on sticks. The goal is to stay perfectly in time and orchestrate the figures in different ways.
[ ] 15 bpm w Ted Reed pg 38 20mins
[ ] 15bpm 2 feel ted reed 10mins
Transcription:
On the B section. Nothing hard, just memorizing language, tempo feel.
