once again I observe myself reaching for a "one big push" solution – I want to start a series of daily streaks toward a unified goal. help me out here: good - channels motivation - feels good, my brain likes it bad - bandaid solution - everybody says not to do this

the daily goals i'm imagining are - turn on your brain (eg active introspection or other serious thinking) - turn off your brain (some sorts of meditation, endurance sports, probably non-doing practice) - work towards being buff (exercise and on rest days, cultural immersion)

something like "do x until christmas" or "do y until birthday" is just how my brain always approaches change, and i wonder if i should just follow this (with the understanding, always, that i may not finish the streak)

I have that as a goal atm! it's not exactly working out, and a big reason is that a part of me refuses to function without novelty. Vague directions like "turn brain off" or "get buff" give me flexibility to do like either running or meditating, as long as the brain shuts off.
