So, back in late 2018, Facebook made a change to their platform. It was a rather BIG change. They got rid of any ability to automatically post to a personal profile from an outside source. It was a big change at least for me.
Why? Because it meant that my daily blog posts no longer showed up on my profile (and into your news feeds).
There is a workaround. I can post stuff manually, like I am tonight, but I didn’t do a lot of that last year after the change went through. I just kind of did it sporadically at first, and then fell off unless there was something I felt was special or important.
I want to change that in 2019.
And not only because I enjoy having you read my posts. I want to do it because I love the Memories feature that facebook has. I love reading my old posts from the past five years, and remembering what I was doing at that time, on that day, all those years ago. It helps me keep perspective on where I am right now. But, I won’t get those memories unless the posts appear on my Facebook profile.
So, I’m going to try to do it more consistently.
I had a pretty kick ass day. I got my retrospective done, and holy wow was it a beast. A good beast. It really, really put things into perspective for me. Here’s a link to go read it if you want to. Loooots of writing angst, but man…this past year was a major growing stage of that aspect of my life. I figured out some stuff, and I’m a better person because of it. I hope.
Tomorrow, with whatever time I have to write, will be about looking forward. I already have a few things in mind that I want to do, like continue to track my writing each session, and also add in a mood for each day. Not just about my writing, but a mood OVERALL for that day, see what kind of correlation I can get.
I want to figure out my patterns. What triggers success? What triggers failure? How often do those things happen? Stuff like that. It feels a code that I can crack. Knowledge is power.
I also helped Liz go to Costco today and pick up flowers and fruit for tomorrow’s mehendi party for Madhuri, which I’m excited for. The wedding is Saturday. So close! I bet they’re freaking out right now, Joe and Madhuri…but the day is almost here, and when it’s over, it will be such a relief. I loved our wedding. So much. I hope they love theirs.
Anywho…time for sleep. I played Beat Saber to end the night and “worked out” for about 45 minutes. I cruuuushed it tonight. No idea why. I flew through a level I’d been struggling with on the very first try, and didn’t fail to beat a level till the very end of that 45 minutes. I think I beat like six or seven levels. So fun.
Night!
