I’m stewing in a lovely little coffee shop, wishing I wasn’t writing this.

As you may know, I’m doing what I call the Boring November challenge. Long story short, I made a list of all the little behaviors I want to add and for how long I want to do them daily. They are a bit boring and not overly impressive. At least, not yet. Every Wednesday, I’ll be sending out a newsletter to update anyone interested in my progress. If you don’t want to get these update emails, let me know by replying and saying so.

The list of improvements

  • Devotions - 30 minutes

  • Read - 15 min

  • Active recall/public speaking - 15 min

  • Online writing - 15 min

  • Spanish practice - 10 min

  • Journal - 5 min

What’s your list? Let me know.

If you remember from week 1, the two I struggled with the most were journaling and Spanish study. I decided to try to fit Spanish in the morning instead of the evening, which seemed to go pretty well the first week. Journaling, I only managed to get done once. Not great. I tried to give journaling its own location instead of combining it with going to bed. Let’s see how things went.
