  • Last week was decent, I went running on 4 days in a row.

  • Next week I want to go running on 3 days, continue meditating and reading before bed.

  • This July was solid, I went running on 11 days and practiced meditation regularly. I started a new habit of reading before bed in order to fall asleep more easily.

  • I'm going on vacation in mid-August so self-improvement is not gonna be a top priority this month pirate-jammin

I'm still playing Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. I think I'm near the end of the game, I'm 20 hours in. It was sometimes frustrating and I have a few complaints but overall it's very good and I had a good time. I would give it a light 8/10 flannel-yellow

Good to see you back comrade! I agree that everything sucks. I don't have any answers. But we're all together in the trenches. I think that being a leftist in practice means that we continue to fight even though we know that everything is fucked and there is no hope. But we still fight because it's the right thing to do in the moment solidarity

That's a good decision. I spend too much time on reddit, it would be better to spend that time reading books or playing the guitar. Do you have some activities in mind that you want to do in your new free time? If you're interested in habits, I recommend the book Atomic Habits. It's a decent book on quitting bad habits and forming good habits.

Logseq looks interesting, I need a new program for my notes so I'll try it out! I was using Evernote for free for a decade. Then they suddenly started asking for a bunch of money to continue using it (when the federal reserve turned off the free money printer) so I switched to OneNote.

I'm going for a short run tomorrow morning at 9:30am so you'd better stick to your plan as well! jerma-unhinged

Btw Sigur Ros is great, this is my favourite of their songs dubois-dance

Those are great goals, I share most of them! My goal this week is to run on 5 days in a row (Mon-Fri), I already did two days so far. I also want to read more, especially before bed because then you get the added bonus of better sleep. What kind of music are you into? Do you play any instruments?

Hello comrades and welcome to the third improvement megathread of June! bonfire There is one more full week left to finish the month strong.

Some discussion ideas:

  • How was your week?
  • Do you have some plans or goals for next week?
  • Do you have any sober days or streaks?

Poster caption“The Red Army is bringing liberation to the oppressed of the whole world”.

This poster was issued in 1919 and it contains two emblems of the Soviet Union in use during that period.

The emblem of the hammer and plow (visible in the small red star at lower right) is the earliest Soviet emblem. It was first used in April 1918 as a badge for the Red Army. The hammer and sickle (visible on the flag) was officially recognized in July 1918 when the Congress of Soviets approved it as the state seal.

Not seen on this poster is the crest of the Soviet Union (a hammer and sickle, globe and two shafts of wheat with banners of the Soviet republics). The crest was approved in 1923.

Good luck with your goals! feral-hog
