ayy i got the thing ^ to have a > thing. just had to do two of em >>. who woulda thought.

anywho, i’ve become very clear on what i want to do for the next 2 years in the past 24 hours.

i want to create my own blockchain business, as well as get a job working another one (long term vs. short term, respectively.) i also want to start writing my own cyberpunk comic and post the code i learn how to do or maybe just the finished apps and games made out of that code, in the theme of the comic, which i’ll also make and upload the music for… hopefully… i mean, i know i can, but i also know talking is different than doing and i’ve definitely talked more than i’ve do’ed in my life time but – i want to do this. i really do.

i don’t know if what i’m typing is cheesy but it’s helping. so i guess i don’t care.

today is 01/08/2018 (dd/mm/yyyy) and the time is 23:44 and i am committing to these things. i am committing to this website, i’m committing to these habits, i am committing to this year, i am committing to this life. this past week has been a good one, but i know i haven’t put in the amount of effort that i need to put in every week. and now it’s time to start being hard on myself. not in the way that i have been – feeling bad for subtle but disruptive emotions just let them get in the way of me doing very basic things – (i don’t know if that tangent made any sense but i’m leaving there) but in a way that makes me want to be more productive, so much so that it gets to the point of me needing to be productive. that is where i feel like i am at. i have no idea if this paragraph is readable but i’m gonna continue to go on a tangent anyway. i feel like one of the luckiest people alive for being able to live probably one of the most carefree lives of all time. i don’t know. i go through these phases of feeling really guilty about living slightly spoiled – but i remember that there are lots of people on both sides of any spectrum, including however they grew up. again, i don’t know if that makes any sense – but basically the jist of it all is i want to do a lot of things with my life and i feel like it’s taking me a long time to get to where i want to be even though sometimes i feel like i have 0 actual obstacles in the way of achieving my goals so i feel extra bad when i don’t because there’s so many more people in the world that don’t even get to have goals because there too busy trying to barely survive and that sucks and there is so clearly enough of the “good life” out there to share with – okay, maybe not everyone – but certainly a vast majority more than the people we do. that tl;dr just turned into another tangent and i apologize for that, but the point is… oh yeah, i am committing. to bettering myself, and hopefully one day, bettering the whole world/solar-system/star-cluster/galaxy/universe/multiverse bubble bath.. thing.s and also life/humans/life-other-than-humans/including-dogs-and-dolphinsandiguesscatstoo.

last couple of days have been good. i do feel good about not enforcing daily posts on myself so much this year, but extra emphasizing weekly reviews. start constructing them every 5 days and dedicate the 7th (of before) day of the week to typing it all out here in a weekly review of my goals and achievements or whatever. i don’t know. maybe that’ll… do something.

i could have and should have been more productive today. in last 4 hours, specifically. i dun goofed, but i do plan on immediately making up for it in the next 4 hours. also, i feel very clear on what i want to do for the next 2 years – so that’s good.

just copy and pasted my last 2 blogger posts that didn’t get imported over here to wordpress, “31december2017” and “1january2018”.

this is the sort of inconsistency that would usually bug me but honestly i’m really happy with how this has turned out so far and i know myself that those posts were posted on those actually days – just on blogger and after the import to wordpress – so the fact that it’s just copy pasted here now with the “4january2018” publish date instead is fine to me.

okay, now that i’m a little organized and feel a little more relaxed/less anxious about being 100% consistent with daily posts – i need to focus on monetizing my website. a thought i just had while i was typing this is splitting blogs into 1 that has everything, such as the rants and whatever else i post (a default chronological timeline of my posts, including “try hard” and “try not at all”), and another that has SEO focused posts. i went on a bit of a tangent with that parenthesis but hopefully you get the idea.

because, i’m having trouble coming to terms with what i want associated with “nateqdruen.com” so maybe ill have some hidden sections or something? i don’t know. i just don’t want to make cheesy, click-baity posts linked with my name but i kind of want to make those sorts of things just to make the money back that i’m paying for this website. same for products. actually, i guess i could get away with e-books and sample packs being sold under my name. and i want to make my own wordpress theme so maybe i can sell that to. i’m going to get back to the web design aspect of things. i’m also going to set aside time to work on my time management app later then i’ll post my schedule for web design vs. content writing vs. app dev vs. music/art making, etc.

i want to make my own custom 5-days-a-week (73 in the year) this year. making tomorrow the end of this first week of 2018 – forcing me to make sure i get done all the things i want to get done every week. then if i slip on a few things, use the extra two days of the actual week to catch up, then try to get back on track.

that’s all for now – ill update on how all that goes tomorrow.

happy new year.

a look back on 2017 – i actually managed to make at least 1 post a month all year. so that’s good.

now i’m making the switch from blogger to wordpress. i’m not entirely sure how it’s going to work – but i’ve managed to get to the point where the “launch site” button is waiting for me over at bluehost/wordpress right now. so i’m going to see what that does, and hopefully, this will be my last post thru blogger. see ya over there.

let’s see how 2018 goes.

3 days into the new year. time to work. gotta make money off this website this month somehow, cuz i spent way too much money on switching to wordpress for the new year to not do anything with it. so yeah. here we go.

just made the switch from blogger to wordpress – the night of january 1st 2018 (now the 2nd.)

also apparntly my “>” “<” method of entering the time i enter and exit writing these posts isn’t going to work because the > automatically indents. oh well.

looking forward to making this website extra cool n stuff. oh i also forgot to mention i’ve been making good progress on an android app i’ve been working on so maybe expect that to drop this month. other things coming soon too. yay.
