The seventh part of the #AUSPEX soundtrack is now available here:

https://lectronice.bandcamp.com/album/leo

Yup, that's my seventh album of the year. Some kind of chronologically built looped #handpan #ambient #techno blend, I have no idea how to describe it.

Maybe I'll do next year, wherever that musical journey takes me.

And sadly, yes, the time has come for more jumping in the dark on tiny and awkwardly spaced platforms while holding a torch that can go out at any moment.

So, it's #AUSPEX day 256, and I have to tag @alderwick about this extremely important day.

Not that it's anything special, but I've kept day 256 in a corner of my mind since it was mentioned on day 200. So, in fact, this does make it special, I suppose :)

@bd The truth is I'm awfully NOT disciplined most of the time and this is a desperate attempt at organizing something in my otherwise chaotic life lol

The actual plan is to end up doing the same outside of my creative processes. I'm also "disciplined" with regular physical activity, but that's all. I really wish I could do something similar for house chores or administrative tasks 😂

@ice I have had periods of my life that I've been very disciplined for certain things and other times (most times) quite loose and free flowing. What you say it's true, having a plan makes things much smoother and once something becomes a habit is oh so much easier. Where I particularly struggle is when I "break the chain", where I miss 1-2 days of the routine and suddenly my discipline falls apart.

@bd I think tracking helps a lot. Not because it provides useful data, but because it’s part of the ritual. Kind of a way to keep yourself accountable while also feeling satisfied when you look at the progress you made. Even if there’s no progress. And it gives you something to cling on if you miss a beat or don’t feel motivated.

I never really thought about it that way but my Mastodon thread plays this role, it’s a living archive and definitely a self-motivation tool.

@ice for sure, keeping a public post helps a lot for accountability, but even private ones help a ton, habits like writing what you did everyday on a journal for example, you start being more honest with yourself.

anyhow, just saying all of this because I really feel inspired by your commitment. really pumps me up to get started with some projects that I've been less than disciplined to finish. so thanks for the motivation boost!

Toot

Written by lectronice on 2024-10-05 at 09:43

@bd Sure, private notes/tracking also work!

Regarding workouts, I recently learned an interesting method: set up a spreadsheet, track your reps for each set, then add everything and multiply it by the weight you're using. You get your "work" score, which you can then compare with previous sessions.

It's less relevant when mixing different weights in a single workout, but it's perfect for kettlebells and clubs, both useful and motivating. I'm wondering how to use it in different contexts.
