This is painfully deceiving

I love/hate exercises like that. I remember one of the daily dares where you hold your arms over your head and open and close your palms. It looks easy but quickly becomes painful and difficult.

I see a lot more check marks than X's on your checklist! Well done! Keep that momentum.

@Maegaranthelas @PetiteSheWolf You might want to check this news article from last year, and I think the statistics hadn't changed so far: https://orinocotribune.com/venezuela-leads-western-hemisphere-as-country-with-most-reading-activity/

I guess it is in the government's interest (especially the Ministry of Culture) to keep this number high, which is good. The International Book Fair is hosted here as well. So far, there's only one book banned: The Satanic Verses. It was banned back in 1989, eleven years before Chávez took power, so I'm guessing the ban was due to religious purposes (the country was quite supersticious back then, and everything that said "Satan" was enough to trigger many alarms upon the christian population), or because the book was actually too much... I don't know, and I don't have the time to dig up upon the reasons for its ban in here, but that's the only banned book in here that I'm aware of so far. It's still banned to this day.

Thank you! The Xs are mostly because there's so many hours in a day, and some things aren't as "daily" as they ought to be (for instance, I can't do belly dance or shuffle dance in a day, but I keep them there). I am reworking on my reading progress though, as I've reworked my system, though I haven't done much reading since last week.

Minor DOMS didn't allow me to do Burpees today, but I don't mind. I did had a spur of writing during the day, which was neat. 733 words in 15 minutes. Most of it were ideas, sentences, and rants I will use in my upcoming project, but that was it. Today was more of a day for researching, getting inspired, working, and dealing with some paralysis by decision, which was solved with some help.

I am going to write tonight though. I don't know what, but I will.

E: I MANAGED TO DO 2500 WORDS TODAY!

E²: There was a typo in the list. I did roll the dice and did the exercise.

I skipped the Watch. Reason for it being that I really had no idea about what to do. I wrote goals for the day, but my time got absorbed, and a powercut that happened right at the highest of the heat didn't help. I did read a book though, but that was it. All I did is do my workout, deal with someone who seriously can't take no for an answer, and now I have an appointment.

Everything got screwed up, but I don't worry about it. Today is just a second chance to do the same things that I skipped yesterday.
