Checking in for August for my "Designing a Well-Lived Life" blogging.
This is about making small changes during the year to make larger
changes.

This past month I spent recharging myself. This meant that a lot of
things went by the wayside while I was relaxing.

Work on my game projects at least three times a week: I didn't work
on this in lieu of relaxing.
Meditation and mindfulness: I did some meditation in the morning.
Hoping to do more of these in the morning.
Work with less distractions and more focus on deeper work
(Relentlessly prune bullshit): Made some progress with this, but
there are times when social media or other things start distracting
me. More practice needed.
Walk or ride the recumbent bike at least four times a week: Didn't
work on this much this month. Hoping that the cooler temperatures
bring some more walking opportunities.
Get further out of debt: Making progress with this.
Play more games: I did take some time to play some games over the
month. There were times when I sat down to play a game but my heart
wasn't in it. But there were times when it did work and it reminded
me why I like games and playing games. (Trust me, this is more
revelatory than it seems.)
Spend at least one night a week working on programming projects: No
progress.
Declutter and make our place more alive: I have renewed my
commitment to this task. I'm starting to embrace more minimalism.
More to come.

Onward to September.
