What Got Me Through Last Week
The anti-grindset corner.
What with the election that I knew wasn’t going to go the way I wanted, I decided to take on a challenge. So, because it’s too cold to run a marathon, I did “National Novel Writing Month,” where you… well, write a novel in a month. The challenge is 50,000 words, broken up so that you’re writing every day. And I did it! I kept track of everything with this free Notion template. I even coded a little progress bar to show on the calendar how close I was to word count every day. The “✏️” icon is the days I didn’t quite make it, but still, I was pretty pleased. It was just exhausting enough to keep me occupied.
