Informally, I'm attempting to update this at least once a week. Reminding myself that I need to post a blog reminds me that I need to be doing the things that I would be posting a blog about. It seems, however, that as soon as you set goals, the universe goes about conspiring to keep you from completing them. Thus, in my attempts to fight it, I am up now, at 4a.m., studying Japanese and writing a blog.
おはようございます！
わたしはblogをかいています。
I wish someone who can read Japanese was reading my blog so that they could correct me if I'm wrong.
Anyway, this week has been good for programming, not so good for everything else. I'm learning a lot about the languages in which I make games but not making games. I need to get on that if I'm going to get done what I hope to this year. That being said tomorrow (today) is a hack day at work, so making a game there counts, right?
Hopefully, this is just me being slow to start, and I'll ramp up shortly. I need to be studying Japanese every single day because every time I have a short break, I feel like I'm losing something. It makes me think I should do every thing (piano, guitar, Japanese, programming) once a day, but that's not really plausible. I would spend more time switching activities and setting them up than I would actually doing any learning.
I guess that's the hardest part. I've committed to doing these things, and I've set aside the time to do them. Now, I just need to get over the fact that I'm not going to progress at all of them everyday. I have a year to accomplish these goals. I just need to pace myself.
Oh, and stop procrasting (Jake and Amir say "Hello").
