I'm Allergic To Routine

I've known I'm allergic to routine for some time, having an imposed schedule is a nightmare. But I still thrive in structure, as long as I'm the one creating the rules.

This meant that usual goal-setting was broken for me.

Usual Goal: Write a blog daily for a week

Impossible.

My Version: Write 7 posts in 7 days

Now, suddenly, it's much easier

Even if I don't accomplish it, I don't feel the daily impending doom of not having completed the task.

And, failure is data, not a moral judgement. So, if I can't quite manage something, I'll try something else next time or do it again, just to see if I can. As long as it's still fun and when it starts being a chore, I'll find a new way to make it fun again.
