@Anek @Mamatigerj @MadamMeow Thank you!
Speedrun #1 for editing: 408 words. Speedrun #2: 800 words. I did them back to back, with a 10-minute break to play Tetris. Even though there was no powercut today, I finished my work at that point because I woke up a bit later than usual, and I had to prepare for class, so I rehearsed the lessons I was going to give before lunch. Ended up having a late lunch, then my class, then my workout... and once I was done with my training, I did Speedrun #3 for editing: 880 words more, and I was almost done with editing. I only had an hour left, so I figured why not, and decided to spend it by going after those 20 minutes and... ended up rewriting 1356 words, leaving for a whopping total of 3444 words. That story was shorter than that! Then again, I produced it fueled with an hyperfocus provoked by 20-minute Speedruns for writing just to get the thing done, but now that I did the first edit... I mean, the first draft already looked good, but as soon as I fixed those mistakes and went deeper on my prose... Hell, I even made a better ending than what I previously had in mind! It even makes more sense!
I am not done with writing just yet. I just finished doing some TTRPG prep; mostly transcribing what I did yesterday on my notebook, and also doing some worldbuilding for another campaign, trying to fix the Gygax 75 pitch and do the weekly work attached to it. I guess I am done with the first task now, and I still need to prepare for the first session for Vigilante City, but that'll happen tomorrow. For the new universe, I added 909 words to the pitch; some of it was copied and pasted, but I ended up with an excellent pitch to pitch the forum for, plus it gives me a general idea on what to worldbuild upon. Since it is also a forum, I will try to see if others would like to collaborate on me with the worldbuilding efforts, so that we can have our own universe to make our stories up, which is almost how SCP started up like. There's a writing community there, and an interest to a PbP game, and since I cut some time, I think I can be a DM for them. PbP takes time anyway, so I don't feel a lot of pressure.
So yeah, 4353 words today, to which I say this is me when I'm at my best. I learned to sacrifice a few things today, and I decided to take a giant step. I didn't remove it, because I don't want to delete it just yet, but I removed Facebook from my phone's screen, so that I can only access it by going to the apps. Then, I put the icon of Librera Reader in the space that Facebook left free, and put a book on it so that I start to pick back up reading. Already seeing the results: instead of endlessly scrolling through memes, or watching videos on Facebook, I ended up reading Casino Royale while I did the elbow plank. It's a short book, so I went through 2% of it, but this is a step in the right direction. I also switched places with Obsidian and X, and while I only use X for business, it makes me feel much better knowing that Obsidian is in a more accessible place than X because it forces me to microjournal if I end up opening it with muscle memory. Like I said, it's a big step on the right direction. I am back at consuming books, and I already have a backlog to read, from ADHD-friendly productivity books to Fiction books that I've been putting off for a long time. Casino Royale is also important to me because I've been interested in writing an espionage story for a while, so I decided to start with the most popular one before exploring on other kinds of espionage stories. It's James Bond. Who doesn't like James Bond?
As for the L-sit, I'm still working through it. I did some research on my own too, and decided to do the tuck sit next time on my tiptoes. Maybe this would help me to build more core strength, because that's definitely what I'm lacking. I don't have the core strength to hold my body like that, but thankfully, that's something that can be trained. I'll put a pin on this on my journal tomorrow to read my log again first, because I may need to refocus my training once again. Flexibility is still on the list, but maybe I should add some extra core training.
Hey, Epic Abs and Epic Cardio are my next challenges, so that'll help.
