Good idea. Really good idea actually... because of what you said, and people wouldn't have to keep track of all their points from the beginning, and newcomers wouldn't feel intimidated if someone else has like 200 points. Maybe the points should be changed too to make it 'a little' harder again (like maybe +2 instead of +3 for achieving a goal.. what do you guys think would work?). I only want to alert a mod again when I'm sure that's what everyone thinks would work best.

------

I actually did what I said I'd do, and I'm a bit early. So +3 = 11 points.

I typed this when I went to bed and finished it all 3 hours after waking up from that sleep, I'm satisfied.

Hmm, looks I had 2 points now then.... I didn't do the last goal but I had a good reason. So I guess I'll come up with a new one....

Next: Start writing a Humanities essay by Monday.

I completed 2 objectives, and came close to my reading one (literally like 20 pages off), so that's 3+3+1= 7 points.

Today's goals:

- Finish reading the book mentioned yesterday
- Post in my DJ before dinner
- Organize my Lucid Dreaming folder

I completed them all! The book was somehow hard because I was tired, and the organization of my lucid dreaming folder was a bit boring, because it was mainly organizing my articles and putting them in Zotero...which reminds me that some day I have to organize Zotero, but that probably gonna take me a full day xD

3+3+3= 9

My current points: 16

Tomorrow's to do list:

- Read half the amount of pages left in the book Are you Dreaming? by Daniel Love;
- Start the sketch for next month goals and activities;
- Finish the reading of some topics on DV and note down the information on my lucid dreaming notebook for future use.

Lol I accomplished what I wanted to do, like two days ago and I've been meaning to write it hee but I kept leaving it till later, I have failed. Dutchraptor = -100

This thread was calling to me.

- Finish massive history newspaper project by midnight tomorrow
- Check over my Star Wars and Wizard of Oz homework before it's due

Goal) Finish and submit my assignment by 9 pm.

failed all goals, complicated day xD

16-2-2-2= 10 points :x

Did it. 14 points.

I still have so much to do in this course and have not been doing enough. The course end date is in 1 month and I pretty much need to read the entire textbook again, as well as do a research paper. I'm going to have to study for longer durations every day than I've been studying for lately, so I'll try to post here every day to make sure I don't get into bad routines again.

Okay this is gonna be a very long term promise. I wanna work as hard as possible and try get 90% on my finals. I know I'm capable of it but it will require an intense amount of work. You will hear of me again in august

What will you be studying and how are you plan to achieve those results? Feel free to be specific, that makes the job easier and I wouldnt mind reading about other people's strategies

My goals for today: the last 2 ones I had planned for yesterday

A shitload of stuff. There is waaayy too much to discuss it here. There won't be any technique to my studying, it will just be full on march into everything. I'm pretty much set for all my subjects so I guess it's more of a promise to get what I want than a plan of studying. Anyways, I'll keep you guys informed on how the tests went in june .

This is a late and short goal but I'm doing it anyway, since I've gotten no studying done today and if I don't write this down somewhere I know I'm going to end up doing nothing useful until I go to bed.

G) Read 3 sections in the next hour, comprehending them well.

------

+3 = 17 points

I think maybe after tomorrow (on the 1st) everyone's points should start over at 0. Sound good anyone?

------

G) Finish reading chapter 14 (6 sections) by 8 pm (4 hours).

Are we starting at zero points Dianeva ?

Kay, time to start the month in big shape!

- Write down all my dream reports (think they're 4 or 5);
- Organize my supervisor's papers and amaze her when she arrives tomorrow;
- Finish the incomplete weekly planner.

They all must be done before I leave work (at 1am) of the current day.

Yeah I think so.

Didn't get all of what I said I'd do yesterday. -2 points. End the month with 15 points.

Ended the month with 0 points.

To start this one off...: Start writing my short answer essays by the end of the night.

It's sad that I have to do this because they're due tomorrow, but I usually write my papers like an hour or two before class.

Goal) Finish reading chapter 14 in the next hour and a half. Sign off of everything and don't browse anything.

------

Done. 3 points.

Goal) Pack everything in my room besides what I need into boxes by 8 pm (about an hour and a half).

stop qqing scrub

I completed 2 of my tasks, and the third one was almost done but I ran out of ideas since it was pretty late, so I didn't finish it.

3+3+1= 7 points.

Today's goals (finish all these before I leave work at 4am):

- Finish the freaking weekly planner today, I'll consider it -2 if I don't have it done, no matter how hard I tried.
- Finish reading Are you dreaming? book.
- Organize my Zotero, section Lucid dreaming. I'll be splitting the articles that are about sleep/dreaming from the LDing ones. I will also be renaming most of them due obvious reasons. Here's the picture of how it actually looks xD

I didn't get it done in time but tried my best. So still 3 points.

I finished 2 tasks, and didn't even touch the other one (reading). I think I need to start the tasks earlier, preferably before I go to work.

that means 3+3-2= 4 points.

11 points so far.

Today's task:

- 10 minute meditation
- Reading certain book again xD
- Make a revision of a certain paper.

Alright, I actually did something for once, so I'm up to 3 points now....

Next: Start working on a powerpoint by the end of tomorrow.

Didn't reach the 10 minutes of meditation, failed the reading and completed the other one.

3+1-2= 2 points. 13 points.

Today only got one goal, finish the book. I already made some progress, only 70 pages to go xD
