ive been having some memory issue stuff. i dont think its anything to be concerned about, i think its a case of no longer being a child + maybe being understimulated day to day. but so ive started to use a paper planner, one with all the months and days and stuff. i wanted a planner so it'd be organized like a calendar as opposed to a diary, but really thats more what i use it for. quickly writing things like "watch x movie?" on a day i know im free so that im less likely to spend that entire day idly watching youtube bored or something, or "work on x project" just to remind myself of personal goals. and to be honest i feel like its doing a lot for me, i do really enjoy checking it everyday (which is part of the process. i want to make sure im actually checking it, referencing it, writing in it daily).
and it's kinda silly, writing in a journal/planner is like the fifth tip any self-help guide would tell you. and its not like i havent tried doing something like this in the past (although without the memory issues i mentioned). i kinda my whole life associated things like this with some "other" group that i wasnt a part of, and still do somewhat. somethings thats definitely helped with making me feel less like the fantasy self-help snob image i have in my head is using stickers in the book. i have a sticker of the plane from lost anthropomorphized with boobs on the front of it, i got a giant sticker of zoro from one piece covering up his birthday, and i plan to buy some of those colored smiley face stickers youd get on your homework as an elementary schooler just to put over each day thats past.
as well, the planner is full of generic lists of goals, daily affirmations, etc pages that i've just quickly written something silly in. most of it ive written about how big my boobs are/my plans to get them bigger, although the book reading list is actually pretty nice i wish there was more space just for that.
