Hello comrades and welcome to the fifth improvement megathread of September! bonfire

Only two more days until October, it's a good time to make some plans for the following month.

As usual, some discussion ideas:

  • Do you have any plans for October?
  • Do you want to share something you've done in the previous week? Everything counts, nothing is too small.
  • Do you have any goals or plans for next week?
  • Do you have any streaks? For example, "sober for one day." Feel free to post your streak every day in this thread.
  • If you don't have a continuous streak, did you manage to abstain from something for a day or more?
  • Did you come across some useful information or resource that might help others?

Good luck with your goals! unity

Do you have any plans for October?

My big plan for October is to do a game jam. Something small and get my foot in the waters of game development with others or in some form of "community". I want to continue to expand my skills and abilities with Godot and game programming and I need to challenge myself to force myself to grow.

Do you want to share something you've done in the previous week? Everything counts, nothing is too small.

I let go of some friends who were really not doin' shit. Not in the "they are content with their lives and are keeping it lowkey" but more so "yo you have been the same dude since we graduated high school, I can't rock with you anymore because I have changed a lot and you have not. You're the exact type of dude I don't want in my life and yeah man I don't think we can really be homies like that anymore because I don't respect people who don't grow". It was an emotional complex realization and conversation.

Do you have any goals or plans for next week?

Find a job/job hunting

Do you have any streaks? For example, "sober for one day." Feel free to post your streak every day in this thread.

I actually lost my streak of programming everyday but I'm building it back today. Day 1 again, this time with feeling. I am not deterred though. Losing some momentum happens in all endeavors, the key is to not stop. Slow down sure, even go in reverse sometimes in life hits you like that, but don't stop.

Self Improvement

259 readers
2 users here now

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:

  1. Posts should be about self-improvement. This is obviously a wide category, and can range from advice, to finding resources, to self-posts about needing to improve in a certain area, or how you have improved, and many other things.

  1. Use content warnings when discussing difficult subjects.

  1. Do not make medical decisions solely because of a discussion you have had with any person here (e.g. whether to take or not take medications; diagnoses; etc.) as we do not vet people. All medical problems should be discussed with a real-life medical professional.

  1. Do not post harmful advice here. If this is seen, then please report it and we shall remove it. If you are unsure about whether it's precisely harmful advice or not but feel uneasy about it, please report it anyway.

  1. Do not insult other users and their lifestyles or their habits (unless they ask, I suppose). This is a place for self-improvement. Critique and discussion about a course of action is encouraged over shit-flinging. Don't talk down to people.
